Yes, anti-Zionism is anti-Semitism

225. Virtually every one of your statements is factually false.

Let's start with, [font color=blue]we put [it] in the wrong place.[/font] Unless you mean the Jews themselves, then your statement is false. "We" didn't put Israel anywhere. The Jews created Israel. Okay, to be strictly accurate, they recreated Israel.

[font color=blue]No other religion has had an international committee take land from one group and give it to them on such a scale[/font] There are two things wrong with this statement. First Jews are more than a religion. In reality, they are a religious based nation or people. That's why they are callled the Jewish People. Second, the "international committee" you are referring to--the UN--did not take land from anyone, and did not give land to anyone. In fact, the UN had almost nothing to do with the creation of Israel. I suggest that you read both the UN Charter and UN General Assembly Resolution 181--what is know as the Palestine Partition Resolution. The truth is that the UN was mostly covering for the British, and did not create Israel at all.

[font color=blue]My point is that I don't feel a conflict in supporting the rights of Jewish people to practice their religion and culture while realizing that the U.S. and the U.K. exhibited seriously poor judgement when establishing a Jewish state where they did.[/font] Except that the US and UK did not do very much to set up Israel in the first place. More important, Israel is where it is because that's where the Jews wanted to be, and where they had and have a right to be. Sending them to Baja might appear to you convenient, but there are two problems with it. First, Baja is Mexican territory. That is, there is a pre-existing state of Mexico that rules Baja, and they wouldn't want to give up their land. Second, the Jews have no historical or cultural connection to Baja, they they do have those connection with Israel.
