The distinction between anti-Semitism and anti-Israeli nationalism needs to be clarified more often.
I respect Jewish people's right to peacefully practice their religion. (Though I disagree with all organized religions for their seemingly intrinsic capacity for inflicting harm by providing a haven for opportunistic demagogues and predators). I do not respect the Israeli military and police blowing up and beating Palestinian children to death, or ordinary people who say that violence is neceasary because they want more land.
There's plenty of crazy people who think the other way, calling the religion unacceptable but embracing the nationalists who make human piñatas.
