- If you wail and cry over Israel's treatment of Palestinians but are silent about the hundreds of thousands of blacks being systematically killed by the Muslim government of the Sudan, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you think that if Israel killing more of its enemies than it suffers casualties itself is disproportionate, in willful blindness to or ignorance of the fact that it is outnumbered massively by those enemies and those enemies have more than demonstrated their willingness to kill their own people, even their own children, in order to kill Jews, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you think the UN General Assembly with its 57 Muslim votes to one Jewish vote is a neutral arbiter on questions relating to Israel, you are anti-Semitic. If you invest the UN with moral authority on human rights, even though it has seated that very same currently genocide-engaged Sudan as the chair of the human rights commission, you are possibly anti-Semitic but more likely just a hypocrite.
- If you think Israel is illegally occupying the disputed territories yet have nothing to say about the wholesale takeover of Tibet by China and the ongoing replacement of Tibetans with Han Chinese, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you think Israel has to follow the letter of international law while terrorists get free shots with no accountability, you are anti-Semitic.
- If the only time you call for a ceasefire is when Israel is kicking its enemies' butts, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you mourn Arab deaths in the particular, but Israeli deaths only as a matter of being upset about casualties on both sides, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you blame Israel for the results of its enemies hiding among women and children, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you think Israel has a massive, imputedly dishonest propaganda program but make excuses for fraudulent and staged photographs intended to make Israeli behavior seem far more destructive than it really is, you are anti-Semitic. If you believe Reuters stories about Israel without skepticism, you are possibly anti-Semitic, but more likely just a naive fool.
- If you've never thought to question why the refugees of the 1948 war are the only ones in the entire world whom the UN has failed to repatriate in three generations, you are possibly anti-Semitic, possibly just ignorant.
- If you go on and on about the displaced Arabs who left of their own accord in 1948 but have nothing to say about the hundreds of thousands of Jews forcibly expelled from Arab nations, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you bring up the canard that the war waged upon Israel by its Muslim neighbors is about land yet have no explanation for why those very same neighbors have waged this very same war since before Israel occupied a square inch of the disputed territories, you are anti-Semitic. If you raise the "it's about land" lie without noting that Israel occupies a mere 0.02% of the Middle East and that Arabs have the other 99.98%, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you believe that there has ever been a nation called Palestine or that there is any ethnic or cultural difference between a Palestinian and a Syrian, Jordanian, or Egyptian, you are a grossly ignorant dupe, and possibly but not necessarily anti-Semitic.
- If you think that Israelis moving into the West Bank are colonialists, while the Muslim populations in Western countries trying to impose Sharia law are not, you are anti-Semitic.
- If you have ever compared Israel's policies to apartheid, you are anti-Semitic, and grossly insulting to those who actually did suffer apartheid.
- If you've ever compared Israel's policies to those of the Nazis, not only are you anti-Semitic but you are also a Holocaust denier.
- If you think that terrorists are caused by Israel's behavior and that there is no independent cultural force outside of Israel's control that is creating them, you are anti-Semitic, and suicidal to boot.
Very good.
" If you think that if Israel killing more of its enemies than it suffers casualties itself is disproportionate,...."
To be proportionate the Israelis would need to kill about 220 Mohamadans for each Israeli casualty.
(assuming 5,000,000 Israelis and 1,100,000,000 Mohamadans)
2) The point about Jews being removed from Muslim countries should have an ignorant option--that is not widely known.
3) Others should have the ignorant option.
4) As for there being Palestinians, there are Palestinians as much as there are Americans. That point should also have some other option rather than only antiSemitic.
Me, I'm anti-semiotic!

> How to tell if you are an anti-Semite...
Bollix. Puerile twaddle. Jingoism.
Being Anti-Semitic is not the same as being opposed to Israel's political and military activity. Anti-Semitism is an ugly fault that incorporates hostility toward all Jews on the basis of religion, ethnicity or race. The scope is much wider than the immediate conflict in Lebanon.
Not all Jews are Israelis. And not all Israelis are Jews. The issues, tho' somewhat related, are separate.
And, for the record, I support the State of Israel in the current conflict. And I'm not hostile to Jews on any basis.
- If you think Israel is illegally occupying the disputed territories yet have nothing to say about the wholesale takeover of lands once owned by Jews in Iraq, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Morrocco, Libya, Lebanon, and Syria who were forcefuly told to leave or be killed.
oops!!
- If you believe that there has ever been a nation called Palestine or that there is any ethnic or cultural difference between a Palestinian and a Syrian, Jordanian, or Egyptian, you are a grossly ignorant dupe, and possibly but not necessarily anti-Semitic.
Old Roman Maps called it Palistine.
It was not a nation called Palestine, just a region.
