Once again, for those who came in late: Palestinians are Semites. To call supporting them "antisemitic" is Orwellian.

I mean, you don't even need to split hairs like that. I don't hate Jewish people, I hate Zionism, Israel and its government. It's really as simple as that.
It's not splitting hairs so much as linguistic accuracy. I've only spent time with liberal Jews over the years, and they have a fascinating culture of inclusion, given that Judaism is matriarchal. Also, excellent food. I loved making the brisket recipe my first editor in college gave me after making it for my girlfriend (design editor) and me in his apartment one night. Good food, good company, lots of laughter.
So, the issue, as you point out, is not "being Jewish," but Bibi is a fucking nightmare. Why are all these old people trying to break the world just ahead of leaving it?
I will split hairs: Zionism is merely the belief that Jews are entitled to have their own state in the Levant.
A minority are also expansionists, parroting an equivalent of the Hamas "river to the sea" slogan.
I hate that nobody from within wants to actually solve this problem and everybody too stubborn and bloodstained to entertain reasonable solutions. It's even worse when people start evoking shitty religious excuses for genocide.
It's not technically anew definition, though.
