I’ve never found most criticisms of Israel to be antisemitic.

I guess other Jews do, but I never hear it. I do hear the disclaimer so often it’s nauseating. We know!

Take the policies that Ben Gurion once had concerning the the Negev bedouins. I'd have to be against the spreading out the bedouin population as far as North Galilee. The change was welcome but the policy of denying them new settlements up to this date is signicant of how Arabs inside Israel are indeed treated differently

@val70 How Arabs are treated inside Israel is a serious issue. They are treated like second class citizens in many ways.

Criticizing The State of Israel has nothing to do with antisemitism. That is like saying that criticizing our country is anti American.
me neither, it's the anti-Zionist rhetoric. where are they supposed to live? Atlantis?

@StygianKohlrabi I think there can be legitimate criticism of Zionism, but people are largely ignorant of the fact that Zionism was part of many nationalistic/self-deterministic movements of the late 19th century.

It’s an academic exercise, and I don’t trust many to know how to do it. To your point,“From the river to the sea” is a genocidal battle cry calling for the destruction of Israel.
@Fukfacewillie true there is a lot of ignorance amongst people yelling they're anti Zionist.

if they said we disagree with some aspects of Zionism, that would be sane. their message is more along the lines of from the river to the sea, raze Tel Aviv and burn it to the ground. Whether they know it or not that's their message by being anti.
