Second, no other nation is relentlessly attacked this way, where its very existence is opposed. Certainly no other democracy, but not even any totalitarian or fascist shit hole either. So sure, if you were doing this equally with other nations, what you'd be doing is fine, but that's not the case....
This is not criticism, it's singling out the Jewish state. Full stop. Show me similar criticism of other nations. Show me opposition to their very existence, or incitement and calls for their destruction, which is exactly what you are doing. Show me another nation or people on the planet, other than Jews, who are undeserving of self-determination. Show me another nation whose people's right to self-determination you want to take away.
Criticism of Israel is not antisemitic, but what you're doing to Israel (which you would never do to any other nation or people) goes well beyond criticism and you know it.
BTW, Oberliner nailed it with your comparison to "Putin's Russia".
