Nobody is asking you to not be loyal to the physical safety of other people who happen to be Jewish. All that's really being asked is the assertion that people can only be considered NOT antisemitic is if they constantly proclaim their support for Israel's "right to exist"- a right no one needs to acknowledge, since Israel DOES exist,
and the continuation of its existence will never be in question- and give unquestioning support to the brutality it inflicts in Gaza AND the West Bank as well as the continuing and unjustified West Bank settlement expansion- as well as accepting the discredited canard that the Palestinian cause is driven by nothing but antisemitism.

Can you not understand that it is no longer reasonable to demand support for all of the above, or quite frankly ANY of the above, as proof that a a person isn't an antisemite?

Antisemitism is a blot on the world, as are all other forms of hate. It is not more prevalent or virulent than all other forms of bigotry, though. It is not the ONLY form of hatred that matters.

And it is utterly unreasonable to demand that anyone support the continued oppression of Palestinians just to prove they oppose the oppression of people who are Jewish, especially when everyone other than a handful of far-right types opposes all forms of anti-Jewish hatred, and especially when Israel's survival as a country isn't in question and when the Israel/Palestine conflict can never be ended by humiliating any side by trying to make it surrender.

The way to peace is a face-saving compromise in which neither Israelis nor Palestinians end up with power over the other- not by a pointless obsession with "winning" OR a demand that anybody admit they were wrong and the other side was totally right.

I write this as a person who seeks peace, justice, equality and safety for both national communities, not whatever group of imaginary people the article I'm responding to was aimed at.
