Some folks conflate the policies of Netanyahu with Israel as a whole, and have made the false generalization:

It is Netanyahu himself who is conflating criticism of his policies with "antisemitism".

Netanyahu frequently makes claims of antisemitism. Critics say he’s deflecting from his own problems

These are just two of the many instances during the war in which Netanyahu has accused critics of Israel or his policies of antisemitism, using fiery rhetoric to compare them to the Jewish people’s worst persecutors. But his detractors say he is overusing the label to further his political agenda and try to stifle even legitimate criticism, and that doing so risks diluting the term’s meaning at a time when antisemitism is surging worldwide.

Israel no longer has the right to exist.

Does any other country have a "right to exist"? Does Palestine have a "right to exist"? Not according to the current Israeli regime.

The Knesset just voted against Palestinian statehood. Here’s all the ways that’s bad for Israel.

The legislation calling the creation of a Palestinian state an “existential danger” passed with a majority of 68 votes in the 120-seat Knesset, with only nine opposing votes. Rather than making a Knesset speech reiterating that now is not the time for two states but that avoiding a one-state outcome is critical to Israel’s future, Yair Lapid’s Yesh Amid faction — which publicly supports two states — skipped the vote, and Benny Gantz, who has advocated for separation and a Palestinian “entity” rather than state, voted in favor.

Knesset votes overwhelmingly against Palestinian statehood, days before PM’s US trip

The Knesset late Wednesday voted overwhelmingly to pass a resolution rejecting the establishment of a Palestinian state.

The resolution was co-sponsored by parties in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition together with right-wing parties from the opposition and even received support from Benny Gantz’s centrist National Unity party.

This resolution — passed 68-9 — altogether rejects the establishment of a Palestinian state, even as part of a negotiated settlement with Israel.

In an interview. Netanyahu had the nerve to claim Gaza was a defacto Palestinian state, and it's failure proves there cannot be a Palestinian state.
