In the 21st century, anti-Zionism means anti-Semitism

Students at the University of Cambridge have been recorded chanting “From the river to the sea” in protest of a speaker at the University’s union.
The chant of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” only makes sense as a call for the destruction of the world’s only Jewish state — and its replacement with a State of Palestine — and is thus an attempt to deny Jews, uniquely, the right to self-determination, which is a breach of the International Definition of Antisemitism.
Wednesday evening’s event, which was organised by the Pinsker Centre, a British think-tank with a focus on international policy, and where the speaker was Dan Meridor, Israel’s former Deputy Prime Minister, was protested by approximately 50 students.
A spokesperson for the University’s union reportedly told the Varsity student newspaper that “the Cambridge Union is strongly committed to our founding principle of promoting Free Speech. The Union’s role is to create a safe space in which to discuss difficult topics and provide members with the opportunity to cross examine them. The format of our speaker events offers members a unique opportunity to directly question powerful and high profile figures”.
Earlier this year, the University was rocked by antisemitic chanting and graffiti in connection with a visit by the Israeli ambassador.

MEE has been accused of being backed by Qatar.[5][6] The governments of Saudi Arabia, UAE, Egypt and Bahrain accuse MEE of pro-Muslim Brotherhood bias and receiving Qatari funding. As a consequence, they demanded MEE to be shut down following the Saudi-led blockade of Qatar. MEE has denied the accusations, saying that they are independent of any government or movement and are not funded by Qatar.[7]
Attacking the messenger doesn't work when its a direct quote from the PM of Israel saying something that you think is antisemitic when said by a non Jew.
It just highlights your colonialist views, that you think colonialism is fine for people of one race/religion only.

Its so easy to tell when you know you've been caught out by the number of copy and paste links, CM.
This time, you can't answer to why its antisemitic for Palestinians to say something but not for the PM of Israel.
Clearly you support Israeli settler colonialism as well as apartheid.
I thought it was just the incredibly racist apartheid that you supported, but colonialism as well?
According to you, the goal of BDS is equal rights for Palestinians in Israel, a One State peace. 67% of Palestinians overwhelmingly reject that and their leadership are completely against it. It's almost like some BDS supporters do so as a tool to remove the Jewish presence.
And speaking of what Palestinians say...
Your usual bullshit. If the fringe Israeli racists were in control, Israel might become a racist, fascist government like Hamas. Of course you keep making excuses for Hamas and only criticize Israel so just more of your attempt to demonize Israel and infantilize Palestinians.
So dumb when you claim this. But since you know you have no defense for your overt antisemitism that the NDP condemns...
Why do you keep justifying targeting Canadian Jews over your obsession with Israel?
p.s. Do you really believe your random tweets have any value to the discussion?
And I see you don't want to talk about the Israeli kid ripped off life support by Palestinian gunmen so they can ransom his body or the bombings praised by Hamas that killed a Canadian kid.
Ass opposed to your tweets from some guy who pushes conspiracy theories about Jews and the Holocaust?
Terror justification that flies in the face of international law. Nothing new from franky.
this from somebody who openly supports the ethnic cleansing of Jews
promoting the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the region.
defends a terrorist who was killed in a shootout with the IDF
defends hamas claiming that it is islamophobic to call hamas terrrorists
If he promoted expulsion of one ethnicity the way that Hamas and others do, it's a problem. But he is explicitly quoted as saying no one will be uprooted.But its ok when Israel's PM said the same thing?

Don't know why you're complaining though. You keep demanding Israel implement a peace deal and a One State peace but then complain that several years ago Netanyahu suggested that very thing.
No, the goal of BDS is the end of apartheid.
They do not talk about one or two state solutions.
You're just living in the past and thinking in binary terms.
Get over the two state solution.
They are in control.
Ben-Gvir just headed a 32,000 terrorist march, with the backing of the IDF, to attack Palestinians.
Hebron: Thousands of marching Israeli settlers leave trail of destruction
Headed by Itimar Ben-Gvir and protected by soldiers, some 32,000 Jewish settlers attack Palestinians, their markets, shops, and cars
The NDP condemns apartheid, as do the Green party.
I don't, you keep claiming that saying 'Free Palestine' is somehow antisemitic.
It isn't, its just another antisemitic trope you keep repeating.
32,000 terrorists march and attack civilians and you are posting about an Israeli government paid and armed 'security guard', guarding land in what you also say is Palestine?

Stop the 'terror justifications', basketcase.
So now you say settler colonization and the total end of the two state solution through annexation and land theft is totally fine as long as they also don't do ethnic cleansing?
That's about as morally messed up as anything I've read on this board, basketcase.
Nowhere in that post does it say I support ethnic cleansing, because of course I don't.
Stop lying and spamming that crap or I'll have to report you to the mods for spamming and misrepresentation/lying.
If you can't debate honestly, just stay out and keep your racist, apartheid views to yourself.
dude you never debate all you do is post propaganda from terrorist websites and refuse to read anything you don't like
this is your quote
True, they probably all want Palestine returned back to them.
That's a fair argument, after all, ...
this means ethnic cleansing of Jews from the Region
I say what I always say, the only way forward is a negotiated peace.
And sorry pal but Hamas openly espouses ethnic cleansing of the Jewish presence while Netanyahu explicitly says he won't uproot people. Why are you so willing to avoid criticizing Hamas for their open racism yet so quick to criticize Israel for far less?
And I see you completely ignored the stories about Palestinian gunmen shooting at Jews going on a pilgrimage but instead want to bitch and moan that Jews responded. I much prefer the alt-right racists to the faux-left elitist racists.
As I said, BDS dopes not promote peace which is why many western democracies condemn them as being counterproductive. Your continual support for them belies all your claims about supporting peace.
No, that's not what it means at all and the partial quote is exactly the type of intentional misrepresentation that can get you banned here.
The full sentence says :'
True, they probably all want Palestine returned back to them.
That's a fair argument, after all, as you've admitted, its an illegal occupation.'
Basketcase has for years been arguing that for the two state solution, now you say returning Palestinian land to Palestinians to create the two state solution is 'ethnic cleansing'.
You think ending an illegal occupation is 'ethnic cleansing'?
How can you be so far out to claim that the two state solution is ethnic cleansing?
Retract your lies.
