[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is being critical of Israel antisemitism?
I always thought antisemitism would be if someone on purpose was mean to you because of your religious practices.

Saying someone is antisemitic for criticizing Israel is like saying someone is antichristian for criticizing the KKK.

Both evil, racist groups that deserve to be criticized despite the fact that the majority of their followers subscribe to a particular religion. [/quote]

Wow. If you think Israel is the equivalent to the KKK I’m not sure what to say. What I can say is that if you come onto a thread about dealing with antisemitism and this is what you feel the need to post … you may be antisemitic. [/quote]

DP: I don't see the poster saying Israel is equivalent to the KKK but rather the analogy of legitimately criticizing a group (or nation's) ideology as opposed to the religion.

If anything, you proved the poster's point in conflating anti-Israel speech with anti-semitism. To throw the term antisemitism when someone disagrees with your politics, is cheap and just devalues it's meaning.[/quote]

You missed the main point. this post was asking about how Jews deal with antisemitism. Going straight to making what you know are inflammatory comparisons of Israel to the KKK in response is just another example of how certain sectors basically cannot tolerate any discussion of antisemitism. It’s problematic to say the least. [/quote]
