That is not what I wrote.

Unless you missed the entire section of my reply about the roots of Nazism and where I think a Jewish enclave in Europe would best be place (Bavaria and maybe Upper Austria), you are being disingenuous.

The Balfour declaration was concieved of by the very anti-Semitic English aristocrats, and put into force by Lord Balfour.

Your single anectdotal story of a single individual does not change the history of the Zionist movement that has been going on over about a century involving millions of people.

It does however highlight the fact that there are two main groups who constantly conflate Judaism and Israel: Zionists and Antisemites. This conflation helps both groups in their aims.

The results of decades conflating Jew with Israeli:

A) People act out against Jews when their issue is with Israel because they have been told over and over that Jew=Israeli.

B) It undermines the fight against real anti Semitism. When Antisemitism is called out, people respond with, "Oh, antisemitism like saying, "Israel should stop ethnic cleansing?"
