Are you implying that the BDS movement is anti-semitic? That would be an extreme claim, which would require some kind of evidence. Being against Israel's actions towards Palestine, which is far and away the most important topic covered by the BDS movement, is in no way an anti-semitic sentiment.

What are you against?

Two state solutions have been offered multiple times. What you're really claiming is that Jews should evacuate the land that they're living on after fleeing consistent mass murders and persecutions throughout history. What you're really claiming is that Jews should either exit to countries that have empirically turned hostile to them over time or be unprosperous.

Two state solutions have been offered, agreed upon, and blocked by the US and Israel every time.

I am not in any way for citizens of Israel (Jewish or Arab or Christian or whatever else) evacuating the state. However, illegal Israeli colonies on what is universally agreed as Palestinian land are not acceptable. Opening fire on crowds throwing rubber wheels at a wall is not acceptable. Bombing civilian buildings in retaliation for terrorist activities is not acceptable. Blockading humanitarian efforts to deliver food, water, and building materials is not acceptable.

Every gram of Palestinian resistance is met with a kiloton of Israeli aggression, almost as official doctrine. This is not acceptable.

And all this from the only state in the world which illegally holds nuclear weapons without being a signatory of the non-proliferation agreement, but constantly threatens going to war against a different state for building civilian nuclear infrastructure (which is all the international inspectors have found in Iran for years).

Why do you immediately talk about a two-state solution? A single-state solution is also an alternative. And possibly the only viable one.

Is it possible to like Jewish people and strongly dislike the government of the state of Isreal?

Whether the insertion was contrived or not, what would it have to do with anti-semitism of all things?

It’s a topic about espionage and exerting power and cash to silence critics, two subject that Israel is globally known to excel at.

That has nothing to do with Judaism. Most people don’t claim it does.

> anti semetic

It's "antisemitic". And it doesn't mean what you think it does.

Don't like someone's narrative? Just call it racist/sexist/anti-semitic.

For shame.

Here's an actual news story about spying by Saudi Arabia. What motivates someone to turn it into a thread about Israel?

This is Hacker News. If there's a new story about Israel you want to draw to our attention, you can submit it just like everyone else.
