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.
