You're welcome BTW, for now knowing exactly why your advocacy is considered antisemitic. It's because you don't advocate for the destruction of any other nation (let alone a free democracy). You don't want to take the right of self-determination and sovereignty away from any other group of people other than Jews. Lastly, you couldn't care less what that action would mean for the long term safety and security of Jews worldwide.

That's why your 'criticism' is antisemitic.

So no more pretending it's about banning all criticism of Israel.

You'll notice that other critics of Israel like Obama, Hillary, Bernie, J-Street, Gush Shalom, etc.... do not call for the end of the Jewish state, or for an end to Israeli sovereignty or Jewish self-determination. They do not shrug at the safety and welfare concerns of Jews who would become very vulnerable without IDF protection. This is what separates critics from antisemites.

So now you know. No pretending otherwise from now on.
