    99% it’s used as their slander weapon.
    I rarely come across genuine antisemitism, even in the sewer that is X

      It’s rarer definitely, but I think that might be because it’s normally obvious enough that I can automatically recognize it. For people who want to defend Israel, it’s harder to tell if they’re just really brainwashed (tbf I live in, but was not raised in Germany, and the emphasis placed by the school system on supporting Israel very noticeable as an outsider) or antimuslim. In iffier situations, I tend to ask, because there’s no worse feeling than agreeing with someone for a whole conversation and then realizing they’re a Nazi. I’m not agreeing with the people defending Israel, so that doesn’t happen the other way around.
