There is a long history of antisemites treating Jews differently, and nowhere do we see that more these days than their attempt to hide their antisemitism by insisting their hate for Israel (often expressed via outright lies) is not related to the fact that it is a Jewish nation. This can be seen via many expressions:

- criticizing Israel’s defensive actions while not criticizing those of other nations, especially considering Israel’s remarkable 1:1 combatant to civilian ratio.

- accusing Israel of human rights violations while refusing to cricitize North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, etc.

- The UN Council on Human Rights insisting on a debate in every session about Israel’s human rights violations, when this is done for NO other country.

- Calling Israel illegitimate and questioning its right to exist in peace when this is done for no other nation state,

(The examples go on, and further clarification is provided, in the link below.)

Particularly useful is guidance in how to criticize current Israeli policy without promoting Jew-hate: do so without demonizing Jews, applying double standards, or advancing antisemitic conspiracy theories, or questioning Israel’s right to exist. Also included is an excellent explanation of Sharansky’s 3 Ds of Antisemitism.

Uh............

Basque nation​

Main article: Basque nationalism
According to Basque nationalists, "Euzkadi (the name of our country in our own language) is the country of the Basques with as such right to exist independently as a state as Poland or Ireland. The Basques are a very ancient people..."<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>8<span>]</span></a>

Kurdistan​

Representatives of the Kurdish people regularly assert their right to exist as a state.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>30<span>]</span></a><a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>31<span>]</span></a><a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>32<span>]</span></a>



Northern Ireland​

The 1937 Constitution of Ireland originally claimed the national territory consisted of the whole of the island in Articles 2 and 3, denying Northern Ireland's right to exist.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>33<span>]</span></a> These articles were changed such that the previous claim over the whole island of Ireland became instead an aspiration towards creating a united Ireland by peaceful means, "with the consent of a majority of the people, democratically expressed, in both jurisdictions in the island" as part of the Good Friday Agreement ending The Troubles, a violent conflict between Irish nationalists and Ulster unionists from 1969 to 1998. The Good Friday signatories "recognise the legitimacy of whatever choice is freely exercised by a majority of the people of Northern Ireland with regard to its status, whether they prefer to continue to support the Union with Great Britain or a sovereign united Ireland."<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>34<span>]</span></a><a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>35<span>]</span></a>

North Korea​

In the context of South Korea's and the United States non-recognition of the North Korean state and what the North views as a 'hostile policy' pursued by the United States, the North's government frequently accuses the United States of denying the 'right of existence' of North Korea. For instance, a 2017 Foreign Ministry statement declared, "The DPRK will redouble the efforts to increase its strength to safeguard the country's sovereignty and right to existence." North Korea itself does not recognise the right of existence of the Republic of Korea in the south.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>36<span>]</span></a>

Ukraine​

During the Russo-Ukrainian War, Russian government officials have denied Ukraine's right to exist. A few months before the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Russian president Vladimir Putin published an essay "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians", in which he claimed there is "no historical basis" for the "idea of Ukrainian people as a nation separate from the Russians".<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>37<span>]</span></a> According to RBK Daily, the essay is required reading for the Russian military.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>38<span>]</span></a> Former president Petro Poroshenko compared the essay to Hitler's Sudetenland speech.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>39<span>]</span></a> Thirty-five legal and genocide experts said the essay laid "the groundwork for incitement to genocide" by "denying the existence" of Ukrainians as a people.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>40<span>]</span></a> In 2024, Putin called Ukraine "an artificial state".<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>41<span>]</span></a>

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Security Council of Russia and former Russian president, commented that Putin outlined "why Ukraine did not exist, does not exist, and will not exist".<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>42<span>]</span></a> He said that Ukraine should not exist in any form and that Russia will continue to wage war against any independent Ukrainian state.<a href="Right to exist - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>43<span>]</span></a>

An individual criticizing Israel, more specifically the government at any given time; is not the same as criticizing Jews in my opinion. It doesn't make someone antisemitic just by the nature of the criticism of the nation and specifically government decisions.

In fact, the loudest and most passionate critics come from within Israel which I have learned over the last couple of years. This self reflection is what makes Israel such a trusted democracy, they have maintained much of the Judaism soul (with historic influences from Europe I might suggest) of free debate and disagreement.

The U.N is certainly biased and they are so because there are dozens of Muslim/Arab nations in the U.N and they influence other nations to vote against Israel even if that country, European or otherwise, doesn't inherently want to vote against them.

To refer to their pursuit of these votes might be more appropriately referred to as antisemitic simply because we know what some are taught there through the generations (there are extremists in Israel also unfortunately). Hopefully the Abraham Accords help eliminate this division and hatred.

Then there is China who seeks to destroy America and all of its allies. They always have their thumb on the scale and for a long time they did so in the shadows. After covid, it was clear that China had far too much sway with international agencies as the W.H.O proved. That was the beginning of a shift from the U.S when they realized these agencies are being weaponized. The targets are America and their allies.

The U.N has become a place of hatred for America and Israel for some time and it must change. Consider the hundreds of thousands being systematically murdered in Sudan and other African countries without a word from the U.N. This has been going on for years.

The human right abuses from China and Iran hardly receive attention either. This illustrates a clear bias because they know Israel is a small nation who can't rally the votes that an economic powerhouse such as China can.

It is thus vital that America weaken Chinas grip on the U.N or create a parallel agency based on values and an oath to maintain values more closely aligned with the U.S Constitution as the template. THAT would be a real international agency worth supporting and it would also have the residual effect of forcing Canada, the U.K and others to actually uphold the rights of citizens in practice, not just in theory or with words.

Not true.

From you source:

"The debate is entirely onesided."

So much for objectivity.
 
All this whining, and yet life goes on.
