I feel as though any one who disagrees with Isreal's policies opens themselves up to being labeled anti-semetic. Is this fair?

Of course not! And no!
Welcome to the free world. You are correct that anyone who disagrees with an Israeli policy or action is labeled as anti-semetic. For some reason, a lot of facts and news about Israel and its history is filtered to have an Israeli bias.
Personally, I believe Israel has a right to exist, but their actions and policies and definetely wrong. Their actions against Lebanon are atrocious. Every day I see pictures of more people killed, or more people crying over loved ones bodies.
Israeli response is unjustified in its scope and the US should definetely step in and use its influence to end this conflict NOW before it gets even worse.
Thank you for being reasonable and don't worry about your ideals. Understand that criticizing a country doesn't make you a bad person. Feel free to express yourself. That's what the internet is for

It doesn't make you Anti-semitic but, It does make you a Terriost sympathizer. Ask yourself this question. How much is Israel suppose to give? How many Market Bombings, Bus Bombings ect is Israel suppose to take? Israel has a right to Live without fear. Thats something the Hezbollah refuse to allow. And yet you have issues with Israels responce. Why don't you post Exactly how Israel should have handled this. Maybe they could have got the UN to resolution them 500 times and threaten them and then never follow through.

the comparable way suggesting that tibetans dont have an excellent to stay to tell the tale their classic native land could make you anti-tibetan, or in case you reported community human beings dont have an excellent to stay to tell the tale reservations could advise you're biggoted in the direction of community human beings. Zionism isnt nationalism, its approximately returning to the native land of the jewish human beings so jews are actually not forced to stay in exile between people who traditionally cant look to get alongside with anybody, extraordinarily anybody so dramitically distinctive from themselves as jews are.

You are not anti-semitic, although many people will label you that. If someone calls you that, you should say you're against zionism not judaism.

It makes you anti-Zionist. It is the same as not agreeing with Bush, that makes you anti-Bush or anti-neocon not necessarily anti-American, liberal or a Democrat.

No. it does not.
But why you don't say anything against the accion of the terrorist?
Maybe you agree and admire Hezbollah's accion in Israel.

Not at all, I have no political/religious or nationalistic views but any offensive involving bombing civilians cannot be a good thing!!!!!!

It is not fair.
It is intellectually dishonest.
It is offensive.
I hate those knee-jerks who's best argument is calling you anti-jew.
