children water because they're palestinians and a state that on a regular basis as a policy kills palestinian civilians so supporting that is ok and opposing that is that you semitic how does even that begin to make sense so i think the way you combat that is you continue a conversation and you kind of take it to the next level you talk about that because anti-semitism means you are racist if you oppose that you're a racist then you support that and that's ok that somehow you're supporting jews i mean it makes no sense and i think besides that the state of israel is not really a jewish state because half the population are jewish so it's not really a jewish state although they claim it is an. also not a democracy because half of the population of the knowledge of population are counted so it's neither a jewish nor a democracy really so we can just kind of keep the conversation going unfortunately the flip side there is a lot of anti-semitism on the line right and you tube i mean it's unfortunately it's infected a lot of legitimate question about the israeli government and i don't know why tha

prime minister netanyahu has released palestinian prisoners and reaffirmed his commitment to a palestinian state. current talks are focused on final status issues of borders and security, refugees and jerusalem. so now the rest of us must be willing to take risks as well. friends of israel, including the united states, must recognize that israel's security as a jewish and democratic state depend on the realization of a palestinian state. and we should say so clearly. arab states and those who supported the palestinians must recognize that stability will only be served through a two-state solution and a secure israel. all of us must recognize that peace will be a powerful tool to defeat extremists throughout the region and embolden those who are prepared to build a better future. moreover ties of trade and commerce between israelis and arabs could be an engine of growth and opportunity at a time when too many young people in the region are languishing without work. so let's emerge from the familiar corners of blame and pre prejudice, let's support israeli and palestinian leaders who are pre
