      Calling for the elimination of the state of Israel is not antisemitic. It’s a colonial enclave kept in existence by ongoing violence funded by the US.

      Sure, think of it this way though. Someone comes into your country, and says this half is mine, and kicks out the entire population living there. That builds resentment. No way around it.

        1. Israel didn’t kick the Arabs out, Britain did.

        2. Jews are the original inhabitants of the Land of Israel. A more correct analogy would be a bunch of Aztecs walking into Mexico City, being granted a small part of it by Mexico, and then Mexico forcibly evicting all non-Aztecs from that area.

          More like the Aztecs forcibly removing all non-aztecs from all of Mexico, except for a few second class citizens.
