Here is the Merriam Webster definition of Semite.
I may be anti-Israel or anti-Jewish but I surly am not an anti-Semite.
How the Jews coined the term "anti-Semite" to mean anti-Jewish is beyond me. It's just another subversive tactic that shows their blatant dishonesty.

The Fact that the land was illegally taken from the Palestinians is reason enough to say the state of Israel should not exist. The fact that Israel continues to steal land from the Palestinians and continues to impose apartheid is reason enough to "hate" the Zionist regime. It has nothing to do with the fact that they're Jews and everything to do with what is right and wrong. Get it?.........probably not I'm guessing.

Hey POT! Hope you're having fun withe the KETTLE.
Let me ask you this...
If someone, regardless of nationality, opposes the Iranian GOVERNMENT,
or the Saudi Arabian GOVERNMENT,
or Turkey, Syria, Kuwait, etc etc...
DOES THAT MAKE THEM RACIST AGAINST MUSLIMS?!?!
If someone challenges the government of China,
or India,
does that make them racist against Confucianists, Buddhists, and Hindus?!?!
If someone is against the policies of America, does that make them anti-Christian???
NO.
IT
DOES
NOT.
Get your head out of your own "bungholio" (haha Beavis & Butthead throwback!), and stop spreading this biased racist propaganda.
WE SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU.

Pat Condel sums this up prety nicely in this video...
as to add, There are 13,000,000 jews worldwide, 7,000,000 of them live in israel, wich the complete majority of them are zionists, the excuse of hating zionism but not the jews is a complete farse and a slick way to hide jew hatred...yeah...i dont hate jews, i hate zionists..(or in other words, i just hate most of the jews).
But actualy i learned this here on ATS, most Anti-zionists here in the end turn up to be Jew haters in a comfertouble disguise...the rehtoric and links from sites such as "Jew wach" makes it quiet clear.

Israel frequently deserves criticism. Israel’s policy in the Occupied Territories and its general treatment of the Palestinians deserve outright condemnation. The oppressed Palestinians need to be politically defended against Israeli governments and the Israeli military. The only halfway equitable solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict, a viable, independent Palestinian state in contiguous territory, side by side with Israel, needs to be argued for and upheld against Israeli power.
Solidarity condemns Israel’s treatment of the Palestinians. We defend the Palestinians and champion an independent Palestinian state side by side with Israel.
The difference here between left-wing anti-semites and honest critics of Israel — a category which includes a very large number of Israeli Jews as well as Israeli Arabs — is a straightforward one of politics, of policy.
The left-wing anti-semites do not only criticise Israel. They condemn it outright and deny its right to exist. They use legitimate criticisms, and utilise our natural sympathy with the Palestinians, not to seek redress, not as arguments against an Israeli government, an Israeli policy, or anything specifically wrong in Israel, but as arguments against the right of Israel to exist at all. Any Israel. Any Jewish state in the area. Any Israel, with any policy, even one in which all the specific causes for justly criticising present-day Israel and for supporting the Palestinians against it have been entirely eliminated.
The root problem, say the left-wing anti-semites, is that

For one; a FREE minded individual will NEVER hate on another human being simply because this other human being is around or was born in a specific area or to a specific family. As a FREE individual you must realize that it took countless of people and thousands upon thousands of years of bloody history for you to attain that free mind.
That's really it to me. I find it extremely distasteful and quite backward. I see racists or people who choose to be racists, not as free, but as enslaved by a time that has long come and gone.
That doesn't answer the question though. A free minded individual has every right to hate who he pleases. Your finding it distasteful makes no odds.

It does, maybe you are too young of mind or too inexperienced in life to understand the point.
If you are a racist, then you are not of a free mind because your thoughts are controlled. You can never think freely of those who you are racist against. If you were truly of a free mind you would be able to act/think properly towards anyone, regardless of their religion, place of birth, tone of skin, sexuality, eye color, height and so forth. However, when you are a racist you cannot do this so you are truly not free of mind, rather, you are a slave of your own mind(or whoever put those thoughts there).
Me finding it distasteful makes all the odds. Try to be a racist around me and I'll show you.edit on 17-2-2012 by InfoKartel because: (no reason given)
