Your leap "[..] amounts to declare that government representative of all Jews" is large enough to qualify for a world record of some form. How in Earth's name did you reach that conclusion? If I imply that criticizing the King of England is hateful against Englishmen am I really then implying that every Englishman loves the King? Even his detractors?

I can't at all follow your logic. The poster is mocking Israel for the habit of supporters of the Israeli government of accusing any non-Jew criticizing them of antisemitism.

No, but you ARE falsely conflating criticism of (the actions of) a person with bigotry towards a people. Those things are in no way the same.

Even worse in the case of Israel, where being Jewish isn't a nationality but an ethnicity and a religion with many of the people belonging to both or either being in fierce opposition to the atrocities of the Israeli government.
