[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The big question is can anyone criticize or question Israel, it policies or its relations with the US and not be called anti-Semitic? It always seems if there is anything negative said about Israel there is always someone saying it’s anti-semitic.

I don't think it's a question at all.  I think it's become quite clear that anything whatsoever that is in any way whatsoever critical of Israel's policies, politics, or relations between the US and Israel will immediately be jumped on as anti-Semitic regardless of whether or not it actually is anti-semitic or not.  Bernie Sanders, who himself is a Jew, pointed out that a counterproductive conflation of legitimate policy criticisms into "anti-semitism" has happened.[/quote]

Opposing the State of Israel is not anti-Semitic. It's anti-Nazi. Opposing the government of the USA is not an opposition to the people of the USA. Positions on the policies of states, and the very questions about the existence of states, are political questions. All political questions are valid for public debate.[/quote]

I'm sorry, are you equating the State of Israel to Nazi Germany?[/quote]
