Yes, I do mean the present Israeli regime.
Israel as a nation state I believe is justifiable according to the pre-1967 boundaries. No arrangement is perfect in human affairs .

However "In 2008 Al Jazeera and Haaretz both reported that elements in the Palestinian leadership, including Hamas, have called for a two-state settlement based on the pre-June 1967 borders (the Green Line).[33][34]

Yes and agreeing with the OP in no way excuses the actions of hamas

And being 'anti-Netanyahu' can be wrongly classified as being 'anti semitic', in an attempt to shut down the debate.

Oreo, as you said. Is why I started the thread. Morphing into antisemitism is a danger to be aware of.

It can soon morph into antisemitism, that’s all I’m saying on the matter.

I don't think everyone in the government is a Zionist, and I'm certainly not implying that most Israeli's are either. But their views are very powerful.. look at Netanyahu

Zionism is something else.. and deplorable in the way it is being carried out.

Israel is not coterminous with Judaism.

I respect and like Judaism. My Lord was a Jew. Judeo Christianity has been a major civilising influence.

I deplore and despise the extreme right wing nationalism of Israel.
