5. IMO, your opinion is flawed.

Would you say, in a minority group,...

...any criticism (sic) of Obama and his policies have nothing to do with racism whatsoever.

...any critisism (sic) of Hillary Clinton and her policies have nothing to do with sexism whatsoever.

...any criticism (sic) of immigration and those policies have nothing to do with racism whatsoever.

...any critisism (sic) of the National Organization of Women and their policies have nothing to do with sexism whatsoever.

? Should I go on? While some criticisms are not anti-Semitic (or racist/sexist/bigoted), there are cases where such accusations of bigotry are, in fact, true. So to claim, "any criticism (sic) of Israel and its policies have nothing to do with antisemitism whatsoever.", is as myopic and incorrect as someone who were to claim that "any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitic."

Seems you have no understanding of anti-Semitism. Furthermore, your "claim", that "many jews are atheists and do not support judaism so anti-christianity, anti-judaism and anti-islamism are often tolerable." is just bizarre. It almost sounds as if you are saying anti-Semitism is acceptable. I also find it disturbing you do not capitalize "Jews" and "Judaism", both of which are proper nouns.

This is the Jewish group and if, for one moment, you think that anti-Semitism is acceptable (or tolerable), then please see yourself out of this space.
