I don't think criticizing Jews or Israel means we want to bring on the 1930's/40' again.

I don't judge them on their past but on what people are doing today and whether or not it is in the best interest of folks.

When you put your religion and your country (Israel) first it can cause issues here. Fundies side with the whole Israel can do no wrong thing. I don't hate Israel, consider them an ally, but I won't put them on a pedestal out of fear of being labeled anti-semitic.

Criticism of policy and action is not hate, and calling it such only serves to shut down debate.
