Then guess what? I must be anti-Semitic because Israel is an apartheid state. Now. You don't have to take my word for it cuz after all what did I know? But South Africa has called Israel an apartheid state and if there's anybody that can identify apartheid it's South Africa.
we need to throw this idea that we can't criticize the Israeli government right out the window.
their government is not a representation of the Jewish people as a whole.
when they do crazy things like elected nutjobs that like to get on their soapbox and say things like children that throw stones should be executed has nothing to do with being Jewish. >

You know what is antisemetic, saying Hitler didn’t want to do the Holocaust, it was the Muslims who pushed him into doing the Holocaust. Not even joking, Benny Boi actually said that disgusting shit.
Edit why the downvotes? I cited my source. It’s right there. Are you all refusing to read the Reuters Article from 2015? >

That’s not anti semitic. Thats maybe rewriting history to some extent. But there were Arab and Muslim powers that supported Hitler and supported his mass murdering of Jews. That’s not completely false. (Iraq was a great ally of the Nazis and Nazi propaganda was actively spread in the Arab world. Hitler is not being seen as an evil person till this day in many parts of the Arab-Muslim world, and there was even massacres by Arabs against Jews inspired by Nazi propaganda. >

Iraq was a part of the British Empire during WW2... >

Not liking the government is not the same thing as not liking the people. >

What about not liking zionists? >

Doesn't represent all Jews either...
And given that it pretty much intrinsically involves ethnic cleansing, I think it's pretty fair to criticize. >

LOL that is their go-to response for anyone that disagrees with the Israeli government. What they're doing to Palestinians is worse than apartheid, it could forseeably escalate to genocide IMO.
Am I now a hater for suggesting that? >

Tbf it's sort of expected the way these parliamentary structures operate.
Unless the minority group is strongly concentrated to guarantee representation, its influence is diluted >

I guess if Israel allowed the Arabs to vote twice, then it would no longer be Apartheid.
Israelis moving into the West Bank really upsets me.
I'm all for people being allowed to move freely to other countries, but it feels wrong when Israelis do it. >

Yeah that intrinsically dilutes political power.
Gentrification in other nations does the same.
Deeply concentrated regions put a cap on political power but are "guaranteed" representation to a higher degree. (the "good" side of gerrymandering, where minority interests are concerned)
But dilution can erase them entirely. >

Serious question. Is Israel not already an ethno-state? >

It is, both legally and practically. >

It is Apartheid though. >

Back in My Day, you had to hate Jews to be Antisemitic! >

Israel doesn't need support.
They should not be supported, and realistically should be facing sanctions for their ethnic cleansing practices. 
They have been playing chicken for years.
They have received unconditional support, with only the barest words of reprimand, which never have teeth, so shey "know" there are no consequences for their actions.
If we aren't willing to condemn them by withdrawing protection, we must be willing to punish them in some way.
(we should have been willing to do so to the USA when they invaded Iraq as well... But 800lb gorillas are tough to punish. Especially ones that have cultivated a deep cultural against accountability)
