My problem was with the "Ethnically-cleansed" crap. The construction in the Egyptian buffer zone (or whatever you prefer to call it) was known back then.
Which one says anything about the Gazan Refugees being Ethnically-Cleansed?
Huh? Alabama is so fucking screwed up they refuse to "kill" a frozen embryo because it's made in god's image. Still, they will not hesitate to execute a felon with the death penalty even though he is living and breathing already in god's image. Can someone explain this to me slowly? I'm old.

I’m not sure if I should take these seriously. I don’t think observing that Israeli policy has implications for how people view and behave towards Jews suggests that antisemitism was created several years after the Holocaust happened.
You missed the point Andrew. I'm saying antisemitism existed prior to 1947. Therefore its existence (and also its rise) can't be squarely placed on Israel
Would the inverse be true? Does the existence of antisemitism in prechristian times suggest that the blood libel conspiracies couldn’t have any influence on antisemitism in medieval Europe?
Show me an example of any actual acts of pre-Christian antisemitism.
Von den Juden und ihren Lügen {On The Jews And Their Lies) is a little 65K word book that will show you how trite that statement is. BTW, if you didn't know. that little tome was written by the father of the protestant reformation Martin Luther and it was used as a major means of justification for the holocaust. So cultural, no, that doesn't cut it. Nice try though but it falls way short of the mark.
Something like 13.8 billion years from the Big Bang till I was born. Still not sure it was worth the damn wait.
Social media is probably the most insidious weapon of mass destruction nobody ever thought of.
line 1 and line 3 are fine. Line 2 is where you and most likely tons of others make light of the problem. Bye.
One last try before I write you off. Antisemitism exists regardless of the existence of Israel. there have been many rises in antisemitism throughout history ALL BEFORE 1947 so Israel's governmental policy can't be blamed. They all had differing causes though. If the cause can be random, how can you blame a government when it is obvious the cause is something much deeper.
I'd buy a pair if they let me shove them right up his fat ass sideways.
I think you missed the point. If there was always antisemitism WITHOUT Israel, then blaming Israel for it now is wrong.
What about antisemitism before 1947? If the present rise in antisemitism is rooted in Israeli governmental policy, then before there was an Israeli government, by that logic there should be no cause for antisemitism. Yet, we all know too well how untrue that statement is.
I suppose reading the article before commenting may help. The rise in antisemitism came BEFORE Israel did anything after Hamas' attack. But if you meant the Hamas attack was an attempted genocide I sincerely apologize but you are wrong, it was just a cowardly attack as all terrorist attacks are.
They have risen all over the globe although many people are trying to deny it. I bet sooner or later one of them will come into this thread trying to say "anti-Zionism isn't anti-semitism." As if on queue, a lurker who fits the description is here downvoting this comment.
