If you blame "all Jews" you're not being antisemitic.
Anti-semitism is one and only one very specific thing -
anti-Jewish racism.
It comes from 18th and 19th century pseudoscientific theories on "race" which identified Jews as a "Semitic race". The very same pseudoscientific theories led to the creation of the notion of the "Aryan race".
The best example and the best practical definition of anti-semitism is in the Nuremberg Laws of Nazi Germany from 1935. The law defines categories of citizens based on their "racial" or "blood" heritage. Up to 1/8 of Jewish ancestry was considered "German blood". Between 3/8 and 1/2 Jewish ancestry was "mixed-blood" (Mischling). Anything more than that put the individual as "Jew" unconditionally. German-blood and mixed-blood individuals were eligible for German citizenship. "Jews" were not.
Note that it didn't matter what
religion you professed or what cultural traditions you upheld. Your ancestry alone decides the outcome. An individual had no ability to choose for himself.
Nazi genocide of Jews wasn't caused by their "hatred of Jews" but by their belief in the racist pseudoscience which told them that Jewish culture was biological and couldn't be reformed. Jews were literal disease in the body of German nation that had to be contained and eliminated. Nazi belief was that the reason why Germany was weak e.g. lost the war was caused by Jewish influence. This was why despite widespread anti-Jewish prejudice in Russia millions of Jews lived there since 17th century until 1991 while Nazis began implementing their policies of racial cleansing within a year of coming to power.
You can easily contrast anti-semitism with anti-Judaism of Christians who were prejudiced against Jews on religious grounds as people who profess a religion.
Christian anti-Judaism is therefore explicitly a prejudice against an action - a voluntary choice. If a Jew converted to Christianity and proved his faith he would not be treated as a Jew as it would be sinful to do so toward a brother in Christ. Whenever there was prejudice against converts it always was fueled by either false rumours, suspicions or incidents of these converts continuing their previous religious practices or customs or retaining close ties with their former community. Those incidents would then be extended to the entire population imposing guilt by association and leading to mass persecution.
- Christian prejudice is: "these people had a choice and rejected it"
- Anti-semitic prejudice is: "it doesn't matter what these people choose to do because their nature rules them".
A Christian who is loyal to Christian religious doctrine will be pressured to nevertheless "love thy enemy" even if he holds personal prejudice against Jews. On the other hand a Nazi who is loyal to Nazi doctrine will have to support racial cleansing even if they hold no personal prejudice against Jews. The difference couldn't be more explicit and history confirms it. And yet...
Many Jewish groups and almost all Zionists promote the distorted understanding of "anti-semitism" as any type of prejudice against Jews. It's a malicious lie that erases the knowledge of why a horrific event occurred and instills fear of the event becoming a possibility for one's perceived benefit.
It is an evil act and needs to be treated as such. Its propagators are people who consciously choose evil and need to be treated as such.
And just so that there is no misunderstanding - genuine anti-semites or people who think like them but express their views in the framework of a different ideology or religion - are also evil.
It's precisely because we have very good understanding of how human behaviour and core moral principles are formed and informed during life that to deny it is possibly the single most evil act because it is the blurring of lines dividing good from evil.
The most influential group in US politics are billionaires. Being a Jewish Zionist or Christian Zionist is (1) a disguise and a distraction, (2) psychopathic confidence trick described above.
Rapture is a narcissistic power fantasy of being the "chosen one" not a genuinely spiritual belief in the nature of salvation. Rapture is rejected by all established Christian churches as it is inspired by
mistranslation of the text. You give these people something else to feel chosen one about and they forget about Israel as quickly as they became obsessed by it.
Chomsky and Mearsheimer are correct at the same time. They represent the two perspectives in any bilateral relationship and do so with personal bias. Chomsky (Jew) wants to excuse Jews. Marsheimer (German-Irish Christian) wants to excuse Americans. In reality Israel is a US vassal (a political entity that owes its current political position to a different political entity) since US effectively prevented state collapse in 1980s. But since Israel is not happy about the asymmetric relationship with the US it established an extensive overt and covert influence network to "wag the dog" as much as possible.
However:
US does
not support Israel unconditionally. The US does
only what is necessary to
maintain Israel's position as the tool of US foreign policy. US protects Israeli policy toward Palestine because if Israel was forced to revise it it would stop being useful to the US - as the only way to do so would be to transform Israel into a more democratic and less militarised state.
US doesn't need a democratic and peaceful Israel. It needs a rabid dog on a chain that it alone can constrain (but with great effort so you better do what the US politely asks of you or they may get tired holding the chain).
Israel is the tool of influencing Arab dictatorships by keeping the general population of the countries angry at Israel and thus putting the ruling class at a knife's edge because of their pragmatic and cynical attitude to Israel.
For example
Saudi Arabia i.e. Arab state ruled by the
house of Saud is a state that exists only through constant bribery of its population enabled by oil wealth. Saudis have an agreement with Pakistan that in case of anti-Saudi uprising Pakistan will intervene. They similarly have an agreement that if Iran develops nuclear weapons Pakistan will provide nuclear warheads for Saudi Strategic Missile Force which uses Chinese DF-3 and DF-21 delivery systems, sans warhead.
Every single Gulf monarchy is permanently on the brink of a revolution - especially a religious one against secular regimes.
How do you trigger one? You provide the excuse for the next Caliph leading the charge against the defilers of Al-Aqsa. So US loosens the leash a little and the Arab rulers begin to sweat.
This is incidentally why Saudi Arabia was involved in 9/11. They hate US imperial policy in the region just as Israel does - while at the same time trying to use that imperial potential to their own purposes.
