Then why keep the AntiPalestinian can’t be ignored thread open
I added an answer to my last post about that. I’ve also messaged you about it in the past that you either didn’t read or just ignored.
Based on this then, Israel is by default anti-palestinian, has committed decades of human rights violations and should be prosecuted for it.

I don’t think there is a internationally sanctioned term for being “anti-Palestine” in the same vein as “anti-semitism” or “anti-Semite”, unless you consider what’s happening to be “Islamophobia”
With that said, even if I agree with you, there is not enough international support to end the occupation of Gaza by Israel. As long as Palestinians aren’t being murdered innocently (which they currently are) in masse, then neither Israel-allies or Arab nations are going to designate Israel’s treatment of Gaza as a violation of human rights.
Now that is largely due to the fact that Israel-Palestine stems beyond just a conflict and has implications to capitalism itself.
Even if the innocent murders stopped today, there is not enough international support for Palestine to truly be free, autonomous, or sovereign without Israeli-intervening.
Both Israel-allies and Arab nations benefit from Israel’s occupation of Gaza in different ways, but they benefit. This is further proven because Iran (pre-10/7) hasn’t attempted a full blown invasion of Israel, beyond smaller scale attacks perhaps.
Lastly, Israel’s treatment of Gaza has existed decades and decades prior to 10/7. Were you advocating for Palestinian lives then?

Then prove me otherwise
They didn’t attack a church, mosque, Buddhist temple or any other religious buildings. They attacked Jews.

All different attackers. You can’t say that an attack on Jewish people at a synagogue on the holiest day of the year isn’t driven by anti-Semitism.
If it walks like a duck….you know the rest.

No one is saying that. A wacko could be religion neutral and still be a wacko and Jews aren’t the only victims*. That’s what being said, I think. Zero cases would be best.
Mexicans, blacks, gays, Catholics, Mormons not to mention political figures have also been targeted, and killed too.

Wow! 
Uh Johnny.
I think you need to stay on point.
This is a thread about anti-Semitism.
No one is suggesting that anti-Semitic attacks are the only form of extremist or terrorist attack.
There are many forms of violent extremism and bigotry.
This string focuses on ONE specific kind of bigotry and extremism: anti-Semitism.
That’s why it seems a little strange that you are bring up other forms on THIS string.
It makes it seem as though you are trying to divert attention away from the topic at hand, for whatever strange reason. I’d advise staying on point, unless that is your intention.

I replied to CoachV who replied to this opining about anti religious sentiment possibly having something to do with it. I don’t know why anyone’s feelings are hurt by pointing this out. Sheesh!
