Here's how your double standard anti-semitism works: https://medium.com/lessons-from-history/youre-anti-semitic-if-you-banish-israel-from-the-nation-sovereignty-clubs-983f9e28ccd5

1. Deny Jews' right to sovereignty in a state? You're an anti-semite unless you also deny that right to Brits, French, Germans, Chinese, Americans, Mexicans.....

2. Put all your protest energy into condemning Israel while ignoring identically murderous Muslim on Muslim killing in Syria, Sudan, Darfur, Yemen, Kurdistan, Chechnya? You fail the double standards demolition derby test.

3. That you like some Jews doesn't get you out of the double standards penalty box. Jews have the same rights as anyone to be nasty, corrupt, ignorant, unkind. Demanding that Jews be better than Arabs insults both, the latter with the soft bigotry of low expectations. Demanding that Israel be better than the Saudis in Yemen, the Syrians in Syria, the Azeris in Nagorno Karabakh means you fail the double standards demolition test.

4. I'm a prosciutto-loving atheist Jew....and a proud Zionist. Judaism, unlike Islam and Christianity, is not a universalist missionary religion, but an ethno-religion that seeks no converts and is tied to a particular place. We're a nation, a people and a religion. It's a unique combination and we, not gentiles, decide our identity. Get over it.

After 2000 years without sovereignty and persecution by pagan Romans, Christians, Muslims and secular fascists, Nazis and Communists, the days of impunity for taking Jewish life are over....forever. If you declare your intention to exterminate Jews, as Hamas and Palestinian imams do every Friday, and then act on that intention, you sign your own death sentence.

How is this guaranteed?: sovereignty in a Jewish state.
