Israel is dangerous for Jews, precisely because it presents itself as the representative of the Jewish people across generations. When, together with the United States, it bombs Iran and crushes Lebanon, forcing hundreds of thousands of people to flee their homes, Israel does so in the name of the Jewish people, not just in the name of its Jewish citizens.

As it continues a war of annihilation and revenge – now in its low intensity stage – against the Palestinian population, confined to 48 percent of the Gaza Strip, and after portraying Palestinians as a link in a historical chain of archenemies, it acts as an ambassador for Jews everywhere.

      Sorry, GC, but you are mistaken here. The introduction from World-Outlook gave some very clear evidence that there is genuine anti-Semitism on the rise world-wide, including the US. I don’t know the details on Amsterdam, but I do know that the attack in Michigan was genuine. (I sympathize with the attacker, who lost family to Israeli bombing. But blowing up children is a bad way to fight Zionism.)

      There is both a rise in real anti-Semitism, along with the Zionist (ADL, AIPAC, etc.) slander campaigns against supporters of Palestine, falsely accusing them of anti-Semitism. Both need to be combatted.

        No this is false. Antisemitism literally dropping worldwide. BE did a great video where by analyzing Zionist sources spreading the “rising antisemitism hoax”. Only by conflating anti-Zionisn as antisemitism, is antisemitism rising. https://youtu.be/nPostCdgViI?t=11m25s

        Ironically, you’re mentioning the Zionist synagogue in Michigan called “Temple Israel” as an example of antisemitism. Thus saying attacking Zionist institutions is antisemitic.
