How exactly would you recommend criticizing the actions of the State of Israel then, without being labeled antisemitic?

I'm sick of this equivocation. Nobody is claiming that Jewish people in general manipulated Trump into touching the stove.

Some facts:

* Netanyahu met with Trump in February to show him a presentation intended to convince him to attack Iran.

* Netanyahu convinced Trump that it would be fast and easy.

* Trump's own intelligence agencies and cabinet members called this "farcical" and "bullshit."

* Trump gave the green light anyway, based on Netanyahu's presentation, and against the advice of CIA, State, and the Joint Chiefs.

So you're saying nobody can criticize the actions of the government of Israel without hating Jews? That's extraordinarily myopic. What happens if a Jewish person disagrees with Israel's actions? Does that revoke their right to be Jewish?

You're dodging the question and the conversation. Again: Is it possible to criticize the actions of the government of Israel without hating Jews? The government of Israel is simply above reproach because of their religion?

Is there no way to criticize the government of Israel without it being taken as a request to get rid of the entire state and Jewish people’s right to exist?

The objection here is to the particular faction in power. Not the existence of the state.
