Is Bibi currently turning people more anti-Semitic.

40. Are you strongly opposed to Trump? If so, does that make you anti-American?

My own answers are Yes, then No.

Same applies to Netanyahu and Israel.

Calling opponents of the Netanyahu administration antisemitic is no more valid than calling opponents of the Trump administration anti-American.

Which is not to say there is no hatred of Jews and Israel in America, Europe, and elsewhere. In fact, it can be credibly asserted that antisemitism is on the rise.

In my view, all hatred based on race and/or religion is ignorant, irrational, and the root of atrocities throughout history. It must be condemned wherever and whenever it raises its ugly head.

So too must governments or any entities that commit atrocities against civilian populations be condemned.

It is not always easy to draw the line between justified self defense and wanton slaughter stemming from hatred or conquest, but as human beings who desire peace and justice in this troubled world it is necessary to draw that line.

I can condemn the Netanyahu government and also condemn antisemitism in the same sentence without contradicting myself.
