After reviewing many answers I've seen many people claim that you have to be a anti-semite to not support Israels policies, by this logic am I Anti-muslim if I dont support Irans policies ?

I am not Anti-Semitic, not by a long shot, but after carefully reviewing much of the news coming out of Lebanon I have to say I am beginning to question the application of their policies. I understand the motivations to secure their borders, but from the data I am seeing, I, too, am beginning to question their methods and approach to the solution. The evidence is beginning to support the idea that they are no only going after Hezbollah, but punishing the people of Lebanon as well.

There is really a runaway obsession with the so-called "anti-Semite" nonsense. Jews have run this into the ground to such an extent now that if you say anything bad about anything or anybody jewish you are called an "anti-Semite" and therefore by association guilty of a hate crime. This is so patently absurd as to be laughable. If you don't support America's policies, does that make you anti-American? No. But jews have their own special pedestal upon which they bask in their own false sense of self-importance, and they try to force that down everybody else's throats too..
I see nothing wrong with being "anti-Semitic. After all, it's my right, just as it is my right to be anti-Catholic if I want to be. No one is going to make me love jews and everything they do and grovel on the ground before them; that is ridiculous.
It is one thing to be against a person and quite another thing to be against that person's policies. In the case of the jews I believe they deserve both. Sometimes I get the feeling that I am the only anti-jew, anti-Israel person who dares speak their mind; anti-Semitic and proud of it.

No, one is not anti-Semite to oppose the Israeli aggression in Lebanon. Oh, how the Zionists play that card, but we are talking politics and policies when being opposed to the clearly aggressive and genocidal war being waged by the Israeli government against the peaceable, defenseless people of Lebanon.
BTW, Arabs are Semites too. Ponder that.

To be anti-semitic you would hate jews because of their beliefs independent of where they live.
Same with Muslims.
Lack of Israeli support is supporting people who are cowards, people who hide behind innocent women and children. People who target civilians for murder.
If you don't support Israel, the only glimmer of hope in the Middle East, you are not necessarily and anti-semite, just stupid.

You are either a criminal sadist or ignorant if you support the Israel policies.
But all must support human rights and equality for Jews.
At present time any support to Jews is immoral.
Jews go through cycles of oppressors and victims.

Israel was founded by the United Nations as a homeland for the Jewish people who have been persecuted for two thousand years and were targeted by Nazi Germany for extermination. So they went there. Logical.
Their neighbors immediately attacked them and continue to do so with the aim of destroying their state and driving them into the sea...another holocaust.
Today, from across the borders rockets are continuing to be launched indiscriminately into Israeli territory. The rockets kill innocent women and children.
The Israeli's responded to move against a political and military organization embedded in Lebanon, whose president is a MEMBER of that organization and supported by them.
Those folks didn't just magically get those rockets. They had to buy them, pay for them, transport them, train their troops, feed, house, clothe, and care for thirty thousand troops massed on the border. That means there is an infra structure also in Lebanon. They go to work in offices, live in buildings, shop etc. 40% of the country supports these folks launching rockets.
Now, who sold them the rockets and why? Hezbollah got the rockets from China through Iran. They transported those rockets across Syria and through Lebanon to the border.
Why would this happen? Because Iran is pissed off that other countries are against their nuclear arms building program. They just sold all their oil for years to China.
Do you see the issue?
It's not just about Lebanon.
It's global.
It's about freedom for all of us.
SO unless you want your family to become subjects of a totalitarian regime run by fanatical muslims, wake up.

No you're not. It's just what pro-Israel supporters say so that you feel guilty. Don't. By their logic I would be anti Muslim, Anti-Semite, Anti-Christian, Anti-White......

of course not. because you dont support gw bush's policies, does that make you anti-america? if you dont support tony blair's policies, does that make you anti-british? israel's policies have nothing to do with the jewish religion, so being against them have nothing to do with anti-semitism.
