So according to you, anybody who’s critical of the Israeli government is “anti-semitic.”

That’s about as “logical” as saying anybody who’s critical of the NAACP hates black people.

BTW, Arabs are semites too.

Ron Paul holds the same views on Israel as Jimmy Carter.
Enough said.

A widely used canard.

Antisemitism has nothing at all to do with "semites". It's a term coined by a 19th century German politician, Wilhelm Marr as the name of his political party, Antisemitische(rs), in order to give his hatred for the Jews and plans to expel them from Europe an acceptable name. It has never had anything to do with racial "semites". It has never been used to describe hatred of Arabs.
