The problem with this comparison (and the Congolese war you mention in the next paragraph) is that Syria wasn't being paid by Europe and the United States to the tune of BILLIONS of dollars every years in economic and military support. When Israel commits mass murder in Gaza, it's doing so with weapons built by Boeing and paid for by the U.S. taxpayer. It's not that Syrians and Congolese don't matter. It's that we're not paying for those wars. And they're not our allies. And, frankly, because we don't expect as much from them.

The greater expectations of Israel are due to the unique conditions under which the country was founded. There is a massive reservoir of good will toward Israel and Jews (which are not the same thing!) due to shame and guilt over the horrors of the Holocaust. But in exchange, we expect that Israelis would know better (than perhaps anyone!) where calling people "human animals" ends up and what forced relocations, extrajudicial arrest and execution, and forced starvation look like. But Israel appears to have forgotten its past and is quickly exhausting its good will reservoir. Sadly, it has replicated much of the thing it was created to prevent. Hurt people hurt people, yes, but the mass murder of 34,000 Palestinians should not be the price for Israeli pain.

You're free to conflate criticism of the Israeli state, government, and military with "antisemitism" if you want. No one can stop you. But a lot of us aren't buying that conflation and all you're doing is cheapening a word that should be reserved for actual discrimination, not legitimate criticism of genocidal actions by an apartheid state.
