Bottom line:
Anyone who wishes for Israel to cease to exist, or who bemoans the inconvenience of her existence, is an anti-Semite.
Done.
BBL.

You keep using that word, I don’t think it means what you think it means.

“Antisemitism (also spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism) is prejudice against or hostility towards Jews, often rooted in hatred of their ethnic background, culture, or religion.”

No mention of Israel there. If the cost of the conflict is large, are we compelled to hush, because someone might be offended? If I pointed to the fact that the US Civil war had a terrible cost, would you also claim I am racist against blacks?

I don’t respect the superstitions of religious faith, does that fact specifically make me a “hater” of Jews? If so, then why?
