> Conflating “Jewish” with “loves and supports Netanyahu” is a bald-faced antisemitic trope.

I guess "Jewish has nothing to do with support for the Jewish state" would have sounded too silly, so you used Netanyahu instead. Luckily we have opinion polls to prove the "trope" true: https://news.gallup.com/opinion/polling-matters/646214/suppo...

The group with the most sympathy for Israel, and least for Palestine, is, unsurprisingly, Jewish.

It is not silly and it is true. In the same way as many Muslims don’t want to live in a theocracy and many Christians are not fundamentalists. Being a Jew, a Sionist, supporting the principle of Israel, and supporting its current apartheid iteration are all very different things.
