Did they? They voted on a resolution that affirms Israel's right to exist. Can you show the part of the resolution that conflates anti-zionism with antisemitism?

I'm not arguing for the resolution or anything, I just don't see what you see.

Reaffirming Israel's right to exist is the literal Zionism.

This resolution puts the House of Representatives on record as affirming the State of Israel’s right to exist. It recognizes that denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of anti-Semitism. It rejects calls for Israel’s destruction and the elimination of the only Jewish state and condemns the October 7 Hamas-led terrorist attack on the State of Israel and its people. >

denying Israel’s right to exist is a form of anti-Semitism

Wait, so then I say I'm in favor of a secular, dual-ethnic combined state where Israelis and Palestinians live together in peace under a common democratic government, I'm an anti-Smite?

[–] Dinsmore 2 points 1 year ago

Correct. Anything other than full-throated support of the current Israeli government is anti-semitic now.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nope! The state of Israel exists in opposition to that notion. A combined state will likely never happen if it is a continuance of the current state. As what you proposed existed before Britain's control of Palestine and before the forced creation of the state of Israel in 1948, broadly put. Jews, Muslims, and Christians of all shades lived there simultaneously without conflict. Then US and European powers decided to meddle and create the ethnostate. Hard to walk back from being an ethnostate.

A combined state will likely never happen

But my question wasn't about likelihood. I can still favor an outcome that's unlikely.

[–] [email protected] -4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would too, but I'd rather focus on outcomes that have a chance to exist. Cheers.

I’d rather focus on outcomes that have a chance to exist.

And as I said: I didn't ask which outcome is the most likely, I asked whether I'd be an anti-Semite based on that definition. I don't think I am but that definition makes me sound like I was one.

As I said, I do not believe you to be antisemitic based on that information. That would be absurd.
