I have no skin in this game.

What I have seen is a confusion (perhaps intentional) between anti-semitism, and protesting Israel’s behavior since the Hamas attack in October.

Criticizing Israel’s response is not anti-Semitism- it is literally just criticizing the response.

The question is, what is so special about the Israeli/Palestine conflict that leads to these outsized protests? I do not recollect a similar response to the treatment of ISIS or the war in Yemen, even though both had the unconditional support of the US war machine. Even if the left could be absolved of antisemitism, the resistance groups it is aligning itself with clearly can not.

There is something particularly grating about how Israel acts with impunity on the world stage yet continues to receive unfaltering support from the US government.

They secretly introduced nuclear weapons into the Middle East and refused to sign any of the treaties which are responsible for humanities current existence.

According to Snowden the NSA provides them with whatever data they'd like, even that on Americans, without any filtering whatsoever.

Bibi clowned all over Obama for years and yet he still had to agree with nearly every policy he pushed. Biden has been practically begging them to cut back on West Bank settlements. They won't even meet us there and still we send over money for them to do whatever they please.

As an American it's embarrassing.

What would you do if you were running the show in Israel? You’re responsible for a group of people that none of your neighbors want, even if they are the same race, ethnicity and religion, and those people have an ongoing campaign to push you out, which has been unsuccessful for as long as it has been going on. Oh yeah, their population is now many multiples higher than when all this started.

Yitzhak Rabin had some good ideas, but extremist factions in Israel (now led by Netanyahu) killed him off.

So, what would you do?

Withdraw all the Israeli population within the 1967 borders. Build a few hundred metres wide separation zone between the two and ask the UN to guard it. Go to the UN and ask for the creation of a State of Palestine. Meet with ANP and Hamas representatives and tell them that you want peace, that their side of the land is theirs, and that you're going to help. Seek to arrange some land swap to create a viable territorial continuity between the West Bank and Gaza.
