As with any state people who criticize and disapprove of a government's policies shouldn't confuse that with any particular religion or individual people within that state. Wasn't the policy of locking the Palestinians in what are effectively refugee camps and taking their land rather than creating a multicultural state one that was initiated by the victors in WW2? It appears, it has been perpetuated since by the Israeli government. Unfortunately, what has the potential to do good, religion divides people's and perpetuates fears. "When will they ever learn". One man's freedom fighter is another's terrorist, yet given time all become dust.

Lets not confuse antisemitism with warmongering and bullying. I would not call myself anti-semantic, but I am against the Israeli Government's constant bullying of the Palestinian people. After all it is the Government who are stealing land, oppression etc then bleat innocence and ask the world for help when stones are thrown at them. I am against any Government that pursues such hateful actions against another country, this includes our own. Remember your history and the British Empire? Who the hell are our Government to say "don't" !!!

Which state has violated the most United Nations Resolutions? Answer is Israel. Does that justify persecuting Jews around the world? Answer is No. Does Israel have a right to defend itself? Answer is Yes. Should Israel exist? Answer is Yes. Are people who criticize Israel antisemitic? Answer is No. I hope that clears up some doubts before I say Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people is absolutely despicable and my brother has seen it first hand whilst he lived in Israel for 5 years.

God gave the land of Israel to the Jewish people it belongs to them, they were scattered amongst the Nations but are being regathered which was prophesied by Moses. God knew that if He gave us the gift of free will that mankind would fall but He already had a rescue mission, Jesus the Messiah came to fulfill the Abrahamic covenant the blessing to all Nations that we can be reconciled back to God and receive everlasting life and Jesus will be coming back soon for the Davidic covenant. Jesus is still the King of the Jews, the Disciples and Apostles who started the church are Jewish men and we owe the Jewish people for faithfully writing the Holy Bible. We live in a fallen world and only the return of the Messiah will bring peace to us all. I hope that all people will know His peace for salvation, there is a God in Heaven who loves us and made a way for us to know Him. God's blessings to you all
