I have long looked for a definition of antisemitism that could help me explain to Christian’s why this targeted hatred of Jewish people is a spiritual battle that’s playing out in real time right before our eyes.
I finally found it in the words of Israeli journalist Haviv Rettig Gur, who captures antisemitism with rare clarity.
He argues that antisemitism is “an ancient idea that recurs throughout history—the archetype that Jews stand in the way of the redemption of the world.”...

If you are into podcasts, you should listen to Martyr Made - Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem. It is a very detailed and I would argue even-handed retelling of the events surrounding the creation of Israel from about 1880 - the 1950's.
I've read multiple times that Jews made up about 2/3rds of the population of Jerusalem at the time of WW1. And the Zionist movement that the left (and some on the right) fusses about began in the 1800's. In other words, Jews had been buying up land from Ottoman Empire land owners.

Map of the Middle East before WW1:

Below is the Middle East today. The new nations Israel, Lebanon, Kuwait, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, UAE, Oman, and Yemen. And huge increase in Arabia were created from the Ottoman Empire (and some from British controlled land). (Turkey is basically what's left of the Ottoman Empire. FAFO on joining WW1 on the losing side.) Amazingly, the only new nation fussed about is the one the size of New Jersey -- Israel.

Note that this isn't a Biblical case for creating Israel. This is just me pretending I was one of the Allied leaders after WW1 and WW2 figuring out what to do with the old OE that was being dissolved.
“”That is the truth Satan seeks to erase through antisemitism. And that is why confronting antisemitism is not merely a political or moral duty—it is a spiritual one. To stand with the Jewish people is to stand with the covenant God made with them, going back to the moment Abraham took that step of faith to heed God’s call in Genesis 12. To resist antisemitism is to celebrate God’s promise to Abraham. And to proclaim the truth is to declare, again and again, that God’s promises still stand.””

Yes, but... if one were to believe the Satanic lies of the left, the globalists and the ‘nazis in their own mind’ cretins right here on this very forum...
ie that criticizing Israel and Bibi are not examples of antisemitism, but merely a political critique of the “state” of Israel... all Israel/Jew bashing is to be accepted, allowable and made ‘the norm’ by these cretins.
Anyone with a working brain cell knows they are merely lying and excusing their own brand of ‘jew hatred’, however. I have no doubt that the Jew-haters of 1940’s Germany probably had the same lame excuse/lie for their Jew-bashing (nothing new under the sun).
That said, no nation is perfect and certainly not Israel, either. Hell, the US has been anything but perfect in our past history... mostly due to the evil leaders we have had running and ruining us (Democrats). But as has been stated, this hatred goes way beyond mere mishandling or malfeasance by the leaders of Israel.
It is an ancient spiritual war that is ongoing and... as the Bible clearly states.... will culminate in the world’s end, at which point Jesus returns and sets things right (pardon pun) by eliminating the enemies of Israel. Those bashing Israel either don’t want to accept that truth, or know it and hate it just as much as Satan no doubt hates it.
“The parable predicts the judgment that will fall on those who reject God and his messengers.”
So now we must accept the messengers. Gotcha!
The anti-Semites we've important are the real ones not those sick of political pandering to Israel.
Jerusalem wasn’t the whole of Palestine, and many of the Jews who lived there weren’t Zionists. In the 1922 census there were about 83,000 Jews in Palestine, about 11% of the population. 30,000-40,000 had arrived between 1919 and 1922.
Look at the map below of the British Mandate Palestine. Look at how little of it went to Israel and how much went to Transjordan (Jordan). Looks to me like you got your wish: the Jews had a minority of the population and got a smaller portion of the land. And even with that, Israel was shrunk further by having portions set aside for "Palestinians".
