What about the percent of Israelis that hate Palestinians, it seems that is about as common as antisemitism among Arabs

What does that even mean.
Are we now throwing the insignificant liberal views in Arab/Muslim countries into the ring?
Granted those are more numerous than the Antisemites.
Mostly because quite a few of those with liberal views still hate Jews.

The "insignificant" designation is the issue; I see dissent from prevalent but harmful beliefs as both significant and necessary. If someone generalizes and overlooks that such dissenters exist, they're not helping the situation.

And I'm talking specifically about those who denounce antisemitism, not liberals who still embrace it.

I had a traumatic experience living in Saudi Arabia as an atheist, and I have friends who were physically harmed due to Islamic extremism. This doesn't mean I should generalize about Saudis or Muslims in the Middle East as if they were all the same, and it doesn't mean I should dismiss the minority of voices against such things. It makes me appreciate said voices and the dissent of people like Raif Badawi and Samar Badawi even more.
