There is no such thing as a "New Anti-Semitism" just a smokescreen to cover for Israel's horrid attrocities it perpetrates against other in Lebanon and Palestine.

It is an easy out to claim racism. It is a way to divert from the issue at hand. The claim result in defensiveness which is a sign of weakness...kind of a catch 22

Jews have been a majority interior the section wherein they initially declared independence long in the previous 1948. Jews began procuring land in northern Palestine interior the 1800's. Its not as though each and all of the Jews left over from the Holocaust have been shipped there and given a state. it rather is possible that anti-semitism helped create Israel yet not for the justifications you're implying. the main considerable way wherein the Holocaust and anti-semitism contributed to the introduction of Israel became a feeling between Jews that they could basically rather be secure from persecution in the event that they had a place the place they might run to if want be and the place they could be secure as a fashion to stay out their lives as Jews on their own words. not through fact Europeans felt in charge.

What I always find a bit laughable is that anti-semitism is deemed to be the same as anti-Judaism, but in reality, Israel and it's government are not in the slightest actual Jews, but Zionists, not by my definition, but their own. They do not follow the laws of Judaism or the Torah. They only "use" Judaism when it is convenient to their cause.
What the government and military is doing to the Palestinian and Lebanese people is sickening. Anyone who support Israel at this point in time is either disillusioned or willfully ignorant.

To be an anti-Jew supporter, you must hate all jews irregardless of personal and intimate knowledge. That in my view would be unacceptable, but to suggest someone is an anti-semite because they clearly point out the indiscriminate and ruthless behaviour of the criminal Israeli state is rubbish. To kill 1500 people in the search of group of people they could have attacked on the ground is totally unacceptable, by any reasonable jurisdiction.

what I don't get is how suddenly everyone is calling liberals antisemites
I'm not antisemite, I'm antiwar, and by that I mean I am against waging profit wars, and if Bush, a Christian, or Israel, which apparently has some Jewish people, or Bin Laden, whose motives I do not trust to be merely ideological either, choose to wage wars for profit or for being insane, it is a crime.

The only crimes being committed are those committed by Israel's enemies that refuse to let them live in peace.
Constant invasions, suicide killings, hiding behind civilians, bombings, kidnappings---------------> all done by palestinians, hezbollahs and other cowards.
If it isn't anti-semitism, what irrational reason is there for criticising a peace loving country.

Its a defense mechanism. Just like when someone gets his/her but kicked, he steps up the slanderous commentary, which of course often causes another asswhippin'.

"enlightenment" - that's rich!
You're certainly not an anti-semite, are you? Nawwww.
Jews aren't my favorite folks in this world, but I certainly don't think they should be driven into the sea. You an al Qaeda fan too? You rootin' for Iran to get the bomb?
Can't imagine you'd be a liberal, liberals are such nice folks.
