It isn't anti-Semitism to criticize israel, it's just noticing the obvious.

There are criticisms that are antisemitic. This isn't one of them, though.

The only one I can think of is the idea that the Jews made up the Holocaust to guilt the West into giving up Israel...... Which is indeed antisemetic, and asburd

My favorite was when Bernie Sanders was called antisemitic for criticizing Israel. His response was something along the lines of "It isn't antisemitic to criticize a right-wing government in Israel." It must've taken all the patience in the world to not add "you fucking toolbags".
