If somebody criticizes the actions of the Israeli government, is s/he also an anti-semite?

If someone criticizes Jewish people, harms them or denies them rights based on their religion, or religious beliefs, that is anti-semitism. Criticizing a government is politics, unless it is caged in the context of religion, in which case it would be anti-semitism.

Anti-Semite means that you have criticized the immensely powerful Jewish lobby in America. You have criticized the simple fact that the Jews consider themselves "The Chosen Race" (everyone else can go to Hell!! or so the Jews say!!!!). You have criticized a country (Israel) that bases its existence on the personal (and non-sensical) beliefs of Jews. You have made the huge mistake of criticizing the beliefs of Stephen Spielberg ( The Master of big bidget propaganda).
I personnally think that Judaism should be banned. Islam should be banned. Christianity should be banned. And stupid fu*kin* morons like Spielberg should be shot along with all those other religious morons (B'Laden, TV Evangalists, The guy from Lethal Weapon, etc, etc..)

Generally, "Anti-Semite" means "prejudiced against Jews". Some of the more extremist Jews make no differentiation between "Judaism" and "Zionism" and, to them, criticism of the Israeli government is equivalent to anti-Semitism. However, that is a viewpoint that blurs the line between judging someone because of their actions and judging them because of their religion.

The Semites were an ancient civilization from which most people of the Near East originated. One of the oldest was the Jews. So now people say anti-Semite or anti-Jew- - - same thing.

an anti-semite is someone with an unusual and deep seated hatred for jews. Because of this hatred, it may lead you to unnesesarily criticize a government run by jews, especially in taking the side of the busbombing, throatcutting mass murderers, instead of the democracy that is protecting its citizens from the carnage leveled upon them, and condoned by and large by the nations of this world.
The israelis fight to defend women and children. the palestinians fight to kill women and children, while using their own women and children as human shields, so israel can be blamed for their deaths. and anti-semites can use their deaths as a reinforcement of their hatred, as well as ammunition in leveling hatred at the Israeli government, and Jews in general.

relies upon on what you stated, yet whilst extra effective than one individual commented approximately your anti-semitic comments, then in line with probability. anti-semitism is hostility or prejudice against Jews AND TO JAKE UP THERE WHO responded... you're asserting the holocaust replaced into shown to be a faux factor and hitler didnt truly have mass quantities of jews and different religions placed to loss of life? you're patently an UNEDUCATED, IGNORANT ********.

An antisemite is someone who hate Jews &/or the Jewish people. Most of those (eso on this board) who criticize the Israeli are using that to bash Jews, so they are antisemites.

If you criticise Israel, then yes, you're an anti-semite and an enemy of Israel.
