[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you think that any criticism of the actions or policies of the (current or past) Israeli government is anti-Semitic?
Do you think that anything that the Israeli government does is in the interests of Jews worldwide?
Do you believe that it is possible to support the right of Israel to exist without believing that every action taken by Israel as a country must be defended even when innocent people are hurt?[/quote]

All good questions. I support Israel and will leave it at that. Don't want to get into a big political discussion. [/quote]

This is a cop out.  You said "ask me anything".  I don't need anything else answered.  I'm interested in understanding why any criticism of specific actions of Israel is often considered to be anti-Semitic, even if there is underlying support for the country.  Why do many Jews blindly support all actions that Israel takes regardless of who is prime minister and regardless of whether they are conservative, liberal, radical.  You can be patriotic and support the US without agreeing with everything the President or Congress does.  Why is this (often) different with Israel?

And a secondary question, do you think most American Jews have an in-depth understanding of the political situation in Israel?[/quote]
