      Yes. Removing the ability to self defense of the jewish people is not anti semitism. It’s similar to saying that wanting to make someone weak and easy to abuse is not the same as actually wanting to do those things.

        First and foremost, Israel doesn’t represent “the jewish people” as a whole.

        Secondly, bombing children to starving out millions isn’t self-defence in any part of the world, except maybe in the US.

        If there are terrorists in the hospital, send soldiers to the hospital itself and target them specifically, rather than flat out bombing the whole thing. Of course, I know you don’t care about this option because the lives of 100 innocent Palestinian civilians aren’t worth that of 1 Israeli soldier to you.

          That is what any other sane country would do on their own. But with 2/3 of the population supporting the regime they don’t resist and instead support them. If another country has to step in then that country has a moral duty to protect the lives of its citizens.
