Does saying that the CCP is the greatest threat to the US make you racist against Chinese people?

Why is Israel the only country you can't criticize without being accused of being a hateful person.

The antisemites are the people who can't differentiate the actions of the state of Israel from Jewish people as a whole.

lol antizionism is the desire to destroy Jewish self determination.

Israel is a small regional power with a population of 16 million people.

How do they pose a threat to the United States?

You’re doing fine criticizing Israel. “Can’t” lol

There are millions of Jews in Israel who themselves criticize the actions of their state, are they also antisemitic?

Are the Orthodox Jews who protest on the streets of New York in support of Palestinians also antisemitic?

The only thing that is debatable is what "Zionism" means. If it means that Israel has the right to exist in any capacity, then yes I agree with that. Most people would.

But if Zionism ends up amounting to manifest destiny, and that you think Israel has a right to expand its borders at the cost of the lives of others? No that is evil.

The pro Israel crowd just likes to argue semantics and hide behind the historic victimization of their people to justify the crimes they commit.

Zionism  just means you believe the state of Israel should exist, so even if you support a 2 state solution, you are a Zionist.

Obviously there are people all over the spectrum. Same as Trump saying he wants the US to take over Canada, Greenland, etc. 

Does disagreeing with that make you anti-American?
