So what do you consider anti-Semitic? Does he actually have to use the work �kike� and make Hitler a hero before he qualifies? Writing a 70-page document blaming Jews for everything from WWII to halitosis doesn�t meet the standard with you?
I�m curious. What would you call anti-Semitic?

Well, think about it like this, what if he has used the IRA as an example instead? Would that have made him racist against Irish people?

He's anti-zionist not anti-sematic (semetic?), and who wouldn't be anti-zionist except for zionists when you take a look at thier views.
In a more general sense, the term "Zionist" is also used to describe a certain element within the jewish community (not all of them!), who believe in Jewish Supremacy, thus putting their own interests ahead of those of the nation in which they reside.

This is a classic straw-man fallacy. For those that don�t know, that�s when you misrepresent your opposition in order to make your own thesis seem stronger than it really is. It�s a lot easier to argue against what you say someone is about than it is to argue what they�re really about.
Zionism was a movement for the creation of a national homeland for the Jewish people. Now that it�s been accomplished, Zionism is support for the continued existence of Israel. That�s all. It has nothing to do with beliefs of Jewish supremacy or divided loyalties to any nation of citizenship.

Zionism was indeed a movement for the creation of Israel, but only if it was in PALESTINE, where there were people already living,

�now that they have it there are Zionist elements who are building settlements and expanding them in the West Bank and the Gaza strip, sections of land drawn up under Armistice of 1948 for the Arabs.

Israel has already been in trouble with the UN about this.

Oh and I didn't dodge your question, what would it take for me to see him as anti-semitic? If he had said "Jewish people in general are responsible for these things" rather than" a section of extremist Jews are responsible for these things".

Hey, do you Hate Al Qaida? Do you consider yourself anti-Semitic? (Semite meaning of course the group of people who are Semetic-speaking, including the Arabs.)
Jewish? Israeli? Zionist? Extremist? The funny thing is that people who make these distinctions (good Jew, bad Jew) to shield themselves from charges of racism tend to ignore these same distinctions when building conspiracy theories.

Yeh but this disticntion still has to be made. Just because anti-semitism is a touchy subject doesn't mean that the extremists of the religion shouldn't be criticised/investigated for their possible wrong doings.
FACT: The Pentagon is under the control of a hard core Zionist named Richard Perle. The civilian Defense Policy Board actually wields more control over the military establishment than the Defense Secretary or the generals and admirals. ... The notoriously belligerent Perle, nicknamed the "The Prince of Darkness", is Chairman of the Board. 41
Mr. Sterner named Richard Perle, a former Reagan administration official and current chairman of the Defense Policy Board, as the most powerful advocate of this anti-Arab stance outside of government.
