Ah yes, the "I have a black friend" defense.

I have Jewish friends, so I trust you won't call me antisemitic for saying Israel is structurally racist and authoritarian.

I just shown you a highly placed Arab state worker. show me a Jewish in West Bank, mind you?

Why would a Jew choose to live in the West Bank when there's a much more pleasant country next door offering them citizenship? Your analogy is so flawed I have a hard time thinking you're making it in good faith.

Well, according to your own words, Israel is a fascist state, hunting down Arab minorities. I have shown an example how a representative of an Arab minority has held an extremely high rank in Israel society, and I believe this fact undermines your claim, hence Israel is not a fascist state.

I think you've mistaken me for someone else.

Wasn't Hitlers physician at one point a Jewish person? I don't think one example is really all that telling.

If you have a Jewish friends then you really aren't anti semitic are you?

Such a smooth brain comment.

Not to mention a huge amount of Israelis themselves criticise the current government and what it's done.

I thought it was pretty obvious I was being ironic, but I guess not.

Your comment was indistinguishable from the kind of stupid people that genuinely mean the same thing.

Unless you read the first half.
