Their would seem to be a similarity between racial issues here that leads from religion... oh shit im not going there
Anti-semitism is just racism. There is no reason why events in the middle east should turn you against any old anonymous Jew. You can disagree with the actions of the Israeli state, but you also have to recognise that there are Jews around the world who also activly oppose those actions.

e.g. Refusniks are Israeli soldiers who refuse to serve in palestinian areas because they recognise that israeli occupation "causes an impossible situation for [palestinian] normal life."

I guess all im trying to say is that Jewish people arent inherently evil. Its important to seperate the will of the Israeli state from the will of individual Jews and it is important to judge each indivdual person on their own beliefs and actions.
