Well they don't, no socially-constructed imagined community has a disembodied right to any chunk of dirt. This hardly makes me an anti-semite, just an anti-nationalist...

If you value Jewish lives less than others than you're anti-semitic. But then I'm anti-non-American.

Nope, you're not an anti-Semite Kropotkin. An anti-Semite is simply an anti-Jewish bigot, and that you're definitely not. Anti-Semitism involves resentment/hatred towards Jews, which as far as I know is an alien feeling to to you.

Woohoo, Eli called me an anti-semite! That must mean I've done something right .

Kropotkin, I think a lot of leftists are anti-Israel because it is a very successful economic state compared to their socialist/Islamic neighbors, militarily powerful and willing to use it, and an ally of the hated capitalist power, the United States.

Does this fit your thinking?

Actually I think it is because Israel reminds them of a colonizer. If there is one thing Commies hate more than globalization it is colonialism .

I can't be an anti-semitie, I don't even know what that is.

Besides our PM's last name is Simitis so by definition...

Of course you're an antisemite, just like me. We're European after all

There's a certain element of truth in that statement.

But not all the Jews were expelled in the diaspora, and many were living in the area even before the Zionist movement began encouraging the Jews to return to Israel. The pre-WWI Zionist movement would not even have been possible if the Turkish Porte, then a decidedly non-western non-european government, hadn't decided to encourage immigration.
