Criticising Israel is not anti-semitism, god damn it.

If anything, lumping all Jewish people in with an oppressive apartheid state is just as antisemitic as lumping in all Muslims with Hamas and other Salafist extremist groups is Islamophobic.

For you assholes downvoting this, how about you speak up and provide an argument as to why criticizing the government of Israel is antisemitic, since you obviously don't agree with @800XL.

Seriously. Instead of just disagreeing, enlighten us. I'm open to legitimate conversation.

Disagreeing with a political state is not the same as being against an ethnic or racial group. Tell me why this is wrong.
