These sorts of takes are funny to me.

You can oppose Iran's Regime, without being an Islamaphobe, based on Iran's brutal authoritarian theocratic regime and its blatant disregard for individual human rights. But in the West, we can't oppose Israel's brutal authoritarian theocratic regime without being called an antisemite by israeli fundamentalists/lobby groups (basically due to foreign interference).

People who gleefully commit genocide should be condemned, period. Israel's desire to make everyone think that all Jews are represented by the actions of Israel, is to encourage prejudice towards all Jews based on Israel's actions. By trying to force the world/public of Western nations to identify all of Israel's actions as inseparable from the Jewish people, anywhere, they are encouraging antisemitism by virtue of how heinous Israel's current regime's actions are. Jewish groups outside of Israel should be condemning Israel's actions openly, to put distance between the faith and Israel's regime, if they want to quell "antisemitism" abroad. You see some Jewish leaders of conscience doing just this -- Bernie Sanders in the USA, and Avi Lewis in Canada, as two examples. It's too bad it's "antisemitic" to agree and support these Jewish leaders, apparently, if Israel's baloney is to be believed.

Your post attempts to differentiate between Zionists and Jews. Western nations and Jewish lobby groups have decided those two terms are interchangeable, with people criticising zionism facing the same sort of censorship and backlash from Israeli lobby groups, claiming antisemitism. YOU differentiating the terms is all well and good, but so long as ISRAEL is lobbying to try and equate the two, and demanding punishment/consequences internationally for anyone condemning Israel's actions through the guise of "antisemitism", it's not a left-wing problem: it's an Israeli problem. Jewish people have an antisemitism problem, born out of Israel's lobbying to drag them all down into being genocide supporters.

If you really want to push for people to dis-entangle the two, you'd need to have Jewish lobby groups in Western nations, and Jewish faith leaders in Western nations, come out clearly and decisively against what's going on in Israel, and to be very overt about distancing themselves from those atrocities. What we see, outside of a few individual leaders, is a Jewish community that is largely silent and complicit with their faith being used as a shield for atrocities.

Did you not expect this to be removed? Why link to reddit if you're the author and can just copy the post to here in its entirety?

Haven't seen antisemitism on the left personally, but I don't use Facebook :) I do wonder how widespread it is, and what flavor of "left." I would guess tankie/authoritarian-left.

many of us are Reddit crash outs so forcing us to go back to a place with a big red banner at the top of the page to remind us of how much time we wasted there is a bit of a raw topic.

The political Left does not have an "anti semitism" problem. We have a problem with Genocidal Zionists. Jew's are fine. It's just those SPECIFIC jews in Israel who are enforcing an apartheid state and actively stealing land that they have no right to possess, just because they have some warped idea that they need to "pick up where they left off" 2 Millennia ago, as Europe decided after the Holocaust that it would be best for everyone involved if the Jews had a homeland, and not exist as a largely migrant and ridiculed minority. Crazy, I know. If the Holocaust victims could speak they would be FURIOUS at their children.

Yes. Lemmy is not better than Reddit. Just fanatics and bots with a different coat of paint.
