No it is not. Neither is it unfair to say that the whole issue regarding Israel is anti-semitism on the part of the Arabs against the Jews. The Muslim Arabs want to wipe out the Jews and what Israel does in response is self preservation.
Look it up, the FIRST attacks by Arab Muslims against Jews in the region was in 1928....Twenty years BEFORE the formation of Israel.
When Israel was formed in 1948, there were a half million Jews living in Arab Muslim nations. They were driven out by the Arab Muslims and had to flee to Israel, the USA and other lands.
The PLO was formed in 1964, three years before Israel captured the Gaza from Egypt and the West Bank from Jordan. How come the Palestinians were not fighting Egypt and Jordan from 1948 to 1967 for "their nation?" You do not see CHRISTIAN suicide bombers, just MUSLIM ones. Clearly the issue is not about land but about religion.
The Arab Muslims are anti-Semitic.

It is not anti-semitism to question or disagree with Israel POLITICALLY. It is only anti-semitism if you have a problem with them because they are Jewish. (Some people will try to say that ANYTHING said that's not in favor of Israel is anti-semitism, but that's not true.)

No it isn't, but is it anti arab to question a society that sends their children out with suicide vests to kill and maim jews. Or to question insane rioting over a cartoon. Or to question head cutting as a valid political statement.
I see Israel as being is self defense mode. If they weren't, they wouldn't be allowed to exist.
