    The problem is that people aren’t allowed to address the overwhelming support for Israel amongst the Jewish community as if that’s “hating all Jews”.

    It’s a thing that needs to be addressed and fixed. Synagogues are selling stolen Palestinian houses and people are being called antisemitic for protesting outside of those Synagogues because “that’s antisemitic”.

      Of course we are. We can say “there is too much support for Zionism among the Jewish community.” As you say, this is a matter of numbers, and anti-zionist Jews will agree.

      But that’s very different from saying “Jews support genocide.” That’s conflating all Jews, ignoring the strong anti-zionist Jewish voices, and opening the doors to our opponents to call us antisemitic.
