the Netanyahu government, and not even the entire country of Israel which is comprised of many nationalities. Your intentions are beyond question.

Words matter, and you can't un-say them, especially considering how many times you gratuitously deployed this label. The plausible deniability of what you stated is long gone.

And your intention to use the same memes over and over again no matter what I want to call them could not have been stated any more clearly than you just did.

You are making my case for me.
