Whether you're criticisms are valid or otherwise, somebody somewhere will. This is one way that genuine debate is suppressed. All people who say things that contradict the dominant ideology receive nothing but ridicule from the majority of the media. The US government makes a great deal of money from arms sales to Isreal, so it will not support any comments that could be damaging to that source of income.

Depends on the criticism: if you merely parrot the rot the Arabs (and their cronies in the UN who are terrified of oil embargoes and/or higher prices damaging their economies) come out with, then yes; if you criticise for something that deserves criticism (and I can't think of any recent event that would fit that which they haven't themselves criticised their Government for), then no.

Yes, anyone who even thinks of critising the any facet of Israeli life is immediately classed as an anti semite by these right wing religious lunatics, of course backed up by the Jews sin America who actually control the Israeli government and in turn are tools of the right wing lunatics that run America and Britain.

Yes you will. I have many times. But the people who accuse you will generally not be Jewish and have no concept of history predating the gassing of the Jews by the Nazis.
That said, you will find a lot of Jewish people who oppose Israel and quite rightly so.
You are not being anti-Jewish, merely Anti-Israel, there is a fundamental and very clear difference.
If you criticisise the American government does that make you anti Christian/Hispanic/Black? I think not.

Yes,you will...Unfortunately some people can not make the difference between criticizing the government of Israel and criticizing Israel's people...Criticizing the action of a country's government does not make anyone racist...

Yes, regardless of the level of criticism. Israel has the most effective 'spin' machine in the world.

It depends on the manner in which you criticise it.
