This isn’t a claim I’ve seen made by anyone, I’m just wary about it due to the common depiction of Hell being (at least I’ve heard) contrary to Jewish faith. Death to Israel, of course, but if my peers are being antisemitic while criticizing it I don’t want to let that slide.

e: thank you for your responses!

    I mean, not really? Telling someone to “go to hell” or saying “you’re going to hell” is really more of an expression of disagreement with someone’s actions or statements than a specific criticism of or about the individual theological beliefs of our religion.

    I don’t think anyone could reasonably consider it antisemitic other than “you criticized Zionist views, thus antisemitism” but since “you’re going to hell” is not a very strong argument it will probably just result in the other person thinking you’re a moron for being unaware of Jewish faith.

    Tl;dr: not antisemitic, but probably not a very productive line of discussion.
