Why do jews holler antisemitism when one calls Israel on their policies?

Question

The charge of anti-Semitism is one that Israel flings at anyone who criticizes them. Israel intentionally blends itself with the world's Jewish people in order to be able to hide behind Jewish people. If you ask Israel any question they do not like, you will be called anti-Semitic. It's a real fraud and the irony is that Israel is setting up the world's Jewish people as targets by acting as if they share the responsibility for Israel's actions.
But the reality is that Jewish people are no more responsible for the crimes of the Mossad than Americans are responsible for the crimes of the CIA, or the people of Great Britain responsible for the crimes of MI5. But by intentionally equating Israel with all the world's Jewish people, the Israeli government sends out that message, that all Jewish people ARE responsible for Israel's actions. That makes them targets for those whom the government of Israel has angered.

As for me, you will not find anything inside my site that talks about Jewish anything. I write about Israel and the crimes of the Israeli government. I write about Rachel Corrie. I write about James Miller. I write about Tom Hurndall. I write about the USS Liberty and the Lavon affair and the Israeli spy who was inside the very Pentagon office from which the lies about Iraq's WMDs that sent our young people off to war came from. I write about nuclear weapons being built under the Dimona reactor and radiation leaking from the complex into the surrounding soil. I write about ongoing defiance of United Nations' resolutions.

There is nothing anti-Semitic about opposing reckless deaths and deceptions that lead to wars. There is nothing anti-Semitic about opposing nuclear weapons or supporting the work of the UN. Colin Powell stated the matter quite clearly; Criticism of Israel is not anti-Semitic. Israel would like you to think it is, but it isn't. Anti-Semitism is based on Israel's race. Criticism is based on Israel's deeds.

Answer 1

The problem is that people tend to hide political issues behind religion as a way of defending their actions. The whole Israel thing has little to do with religion and more to do with power and greed. Same with my country Ireland for a long time.

Answer 2

your right a person can be anti Zionist and not anti Semetic. Though in the Arab would I would doubt it exists.

That being said you sound like a conspericy theoirist. Something tells me that one Israeli spy could not convince the United Sates to go to war, sounds a bit paranoid dosent it? Also you have to remember that most Europen nations thought that Iraq also had WMD's so the US was not alone in its mistake.

Answer 3

As a Jew, you have the freedom to disagree with the actions and popular thought of Israel. i am sorry that you are often lumped in with those ideas simply because of your heritage. There are a lot of places i won't visit, simply because i'm American. i bet a lot of Arab Muslims deal with these same issues.
