Yep.

When someone does that, he gets rightfully called out.

On the other side, accusations of being Russian trol are pretty common, even here on HN.

Why are people more sensitive to antisemitism than to antislavism?

Double standards, or just a hate induced by decades / centuries of indoctrination?

Calling someone a vatnik or Russian troll is mostly because the statement that provokes such a callout reproduces Russian propaganda talking points, and Russia has been running propaganda campaigns for well over a decade now. Similarly, ordinary Russians aren't called orcs, but Russian soldiers are called that because of their despicable behavior in the war theatre.

Replace Russia with Israel and everything you said also applies.

That's not an answer to the question you quoted.

Nobody was talking about Israel or Israeli policies towards Gaza, and there's no evidence that anyone in the thread is anything to do with the Israeli military.
