> For example, I would call people contesting the right of Israel to exist, despite many generations of Israelis living in that area, despite the UN's recognition of the state of Israel, and despite the historic connection of the Jewish people to that land (and there are ofcourse many non-Jewish Israelis which people tend to overlook), anti-semitic. If someone aligns themselves with this message, I would also tend to consider them anti-semitic.
The 'right of Israel to exist' is the right to maintain (by force) a demographic majority created by mass expulsion because Israel is an ethnostate in which only one race has full civil rights. Allowing the right of return to Palestinian refugees and their descendants to the homes from which they have been expelled since 1948 is the negation of Israel's 'right to exist' because 'existence' here has nothing whatsoever to do with the existence or survival of Israeli citizens.
There is absolutely nothing annihilationist (nor anti-Semitic) in denying Israel's 'right to exist'. Despite its pretensions to the contrary when convenient, Israel is not 'the Jewish state' and its people is not the Jewish people.
