Is it anti-semitism or anti-Israel sentiment? Because if it's the latter, well, have you taken a look at their behavior recently? Their ethnicity/religion has nothing to do with why people condemn the state.

Always baffles me why some people think and act like being proud of their state/country/race and criticizing its actions are mutually exclusive.
