I call people, like Jewish Senator Jackie Rosen ( NV) stupid for continuing to argue for a two State solution when that is not what the Palestinians have ever wanted. What they have always wanted is to destroy Israel. However, seeking a two State solution which has never worked in over 70 years is very different than withholding arms from Israel. Withholding arms from Israel on the basis of showing concern for Israel's enemies, who are antisemetic, makes one an antisemetic terrorist supporter. So, to answer your question, most definitely yes, in regard to withholding arms.

On a similar note, by the time Trump finishes his term in the White House, Israel will be self-sufficient in terms of being able to produce its own weapons and bombs and will no longer be dependent on any other country, including the US. That is one of the lessons we learned from dealing with the Biden Administration.

"Do you call Jews around the world who call for a two State solution "antisemitic"?" I can't speak for any others around the world, including Israel, but he's called Rat that B4.

There are different degrees of antisemitism, most of which are insignificant and of little concern. For instance, someone who hates Jews because they reject Jesus Christ, as the Son of G-d means nothing to us as long as they don't vandalize our synagogues or commit hate crimes. Plus, most Christians who do resent Jews for that, like Jewish people in other respects. So, the hate only represents a small part of themselves which is basically under control. The problems start when vandalism and hate crimes begin to show up. In terms of the Middle East, the Arabs and Palestinians hate Jewish people because they don't want them there in the Middle East, they feel they don't belong there, that it is not their territory. No 2 State solution can ever work with that mindset. Looking for peace when peace is impossible is not in itself antisemetic. However - and there is a fine line here- when you cross over and start possessing compassion for terrorists who are antisemetic and want to destroy Israel, then yes, you are antisemetic and that holds when you withdraw weapon sales from Israel because you are concerned about the welfare of antisemetic terrorists.
