This is one of my biggest sources of frustration when listening to opinions on the issue - people conflating criticism/praise of a government with criticism/praise of a religion.
Socialism
Beehaw's community for socialists, communists, anarchists, and non-authoritarian leftists (this means anti-capitalists) of all stripes. A place for all leftist and labor news and discussion, as long as you're nice about it.
Non-socialists are welcome to come to learn, though it's hard to get to in-depth discussions if the community is constantly fighting over the basics. We ask that non-socialists please be respectful and try not to turn this into a "left vs right" debate forum by asking leading questions or by trying to draw others into a fight.

US media is just following Israel's lead.
Israel is the one who's actively attempts to conflate the 2, because it serves to insulate their actions from harsh criticism.
And of course conservatives love to see an ethnostate oppressing brown Muslims. That's the average Fox News viewer's wet dream.
