Saying “the Israeli government is committing genocide against Palestinians” is a political fact about a state’s actions according to ICC. Political criticism, even very harsh criticism, is not inherently antisemitic. Governments are not the same as ethnic or religious groups. People all over the world, including many Jewish scholars, activists, and Israeli citizens criticise the Israeli government’s policies. That criticism is political, not racial or religious. What is really antisemetic is equating the Israeli government with all Jews or blaming all Jews for the actions of the Israeli government.
