Can be a person be in disagreement with policies of the Israeli government and NOT be anti-semitic?

Obviously.

The first thing to know is that Israel is NOT a Semitic country, nor are a majority of Israeli's Semitic.

Also it's a borderline failed, one party state. One which passes the governance between only a select few families. While adhering to a genocidal, apartheid policy.

As long as you dont support people who say stupid shit like "Gas the jews" and the like, say calling for their deaths and genocide , then yes you can disagree and NOT be anti-semitic..

That is unlikely. -- people would NOT even care, about that stuff. Only a jew hater would BOTHER to make a fuss criticizing israel,

especially news companies who want a sensation, who say one twisted side for SENSATION, that listeners would NOT even care, but it served their desires.

The question itself is anti semitic to CAUSE people to bad mouth israel. Which we see in the answers here. Mission accomplished.

COMPARE other questions where MANY answered "who cares" about other stuff outside their lives so same for israel UNLESS they hated jews.

Of course. Israel isn't a perfect state, neither is any. You don't have to think every single thing Israel's ever done has been flawless to support them, which I do. If that was the case we couldn't support any country ever.

Yeah, totally. Government usually doesn't reflect the views of the general public, although you could argue the case that people voted for those policies.

[BCA6010]

Yes. It's not that hard.

[Astarlessnightsky]

Sure.

Duh.
