There is no place for anti-semitism in a globalising world nor can Israel use anti-semitism charge to evade its responsibilities under International law.
That would be the day when Jews can use the anti-Semitism charge to escape discrimination!
Israel's "responsibilities under international law" are very different to other country's responsibilities under international law. International law knows several special exceptions when it comes to the Jewish state:
"Palestinian" "refugees" are, uniquely among refugees, counted as "refugees" even when they are merely descendants of actual "refugees". The same does not apply to Germans or Jews or other descendants of "refugees".
Jewish refugees from Arab countries have never been afforded the status of refugees and there was no UN aid for them and still isn't. Israel absorbed them alone and without UN help.
Security council resolutions call for a permission for refugees to return if they are willing to live in peace, which they have stated they are NOT, but "international law" only considers the first part of the resolution (right of return), not the proviso (if willing to live in peace).
Under international law gaining land through war is illegal, but that point was never accepted as an argument against Arab attempts to invade and annex Israel. But the argument was made against Israel despite the fact that Israel a) offered to give the land back in return for peace,
only took land in defensive wars, i.e. when the Arab states had already broken the law, and c) in the case of East-Jerusalem only took land that wasn't legally part of any state or country anyway.
Under international law a country has a duty to stop attacks on other countries from its territory. But Arab countries have allowed and some still do allow such attacks on Israel without being reprimanded or punished by the UN.
Under international law the Suez canal is open for all trade yet Egypt wouldn't allow Israel to use it and the UN did not reprimand or punish Egypt for that breach of "international law".
The UN claim that Jewish "settlements" in occupied land are illegal but no international law actually prohibits such settlements. The prohibition was made up specifically for Israel and Jewish settlers and didn't, for some reason, apply to Jordanians moving to the West Bank when it was under Jordanian control.
Finally, the law about gaining land in a war being illegal has only been applied in Israel's case, not in the case of Russia annexing parts of Germany and Poland and not in the case of Poland annexing parts of Germany.
Ironically Israel is both blamed for treating non-Israeli citizens ("Palestinians") as unequal AND for annexing parts of the occupied territories and granting citizenship to the people living there. "International law" apparently doesn't allow Israel to treat "Palestinians" are non-citizens OR citizens. Whatever Israel does in this regard is "illegal" under "international law".
So if "international law" were equal and the same for Israel and other countries, you might have a point. But until then, I blame anti-Semitism for the unequal application and intent of the law.
If you are in favour of applying international law equally and fairly, I support your position. Let's start with removing the "refugee" status of descendants of Arab refugees and granting it to surviving Jewish refugees.
