How is criticism of Israel's government policies "anti-semitic"?
It appears that your defense of calling her comments "anti-semitic" is to quote others who say the same.
I agree with your statement that you don't know.

A restaurant in New Zealand is being accused of “incredibly racist service” after a waitress allegedly wrote “Asians” on a table’s receipt in order to distinguish the group from others in the eatery.
A manager for the Falls Restaurant & Café, located in West Auckland, has since apologized for the incident, blaming it on a new waitress who “should not have done that.”
“We never do this and we will never do that again,” said manager Arvind Kumar in a statement obtained by Stu

Looks like the Democrats are in need of " Dr Pimple Popper "...problem is
there will be nothing left but a " Loose " skin flap....
FYI...
In 1917, England declared it's intent to create a country/homeland for the Jews in Palestine and was authorized by the League of Nations in 1922.
In 1948 the State of Israel was established when the British ended their mandate in Palestine.
History is fascinating...
I guess this is what I was thinking of. It also is kind of a big deal if you're into history...
(Speaking of Truman, his daughter wrote a really interesting autobiography if you're ever looking for a good book)

Want me to have Ricky read it for you?
It's a big deal if you want to be correct.
...."but would probably agree with her insofar as at the end of the day Israel is a country the US created".
Then the surrounding countries tried to wipe them off the map....The original partition of Palestine, as approved by the UN General Assembly in 1948 --
The surrounding countries then got their asses handed to them....
And here we are in 2019....

Top 20% of Earners Pay 84% of Income Tax
And the bottom 20%? They get paid by Uncle Sam. We compare tax burdens as Tax Day approaches.
April 10, 2015 9:59 a.m. ET
Who pays what in income taxes? With April 15 just around the corner, filers may be curious about where they fit into the system as a whole.
The individual income tax remains the most important levy in the U.S., providing nearly half of federal revenue. This is unusual: On average, developed nations get only one-third of their revenue from income taxes. Typically they also impose national consumption taxes, such as a value-added tax, that raise as much revenue as their income tax.
The pressure on the U.S. income tax has prompted lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to seriously consider a national consumption tax. But liberals worry that such a levy could unduly burden the poor, while conservatives fear it would be too easy to dial up the rate and collect more revenue.
As a result, experts say, there is little chance of tax overhaul this year.
Meanwhile, these two tables offer a snapshot of who is paying what for the 2014 tax year.
The first gives shares of income and federal income taxes for 2014 for some 325 million Americans, dividing the population into five income quintiles of about 65 million people each.
The second table provides further information about the top 20%, who pay more than 80% of income taxes.
The data come from estimates by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center, a Washington-based research group, as Internal Revenue Service data for 2014 won’t be available for at least two years. Unlike IRS data, it includes information about nonfilers—both people who didn’t need to file and people who should have filed but didn’t. The total also includes Americans living overseas and others, which is why it is greater than the U.S. Census estimate of 319 million.
Another important difference: The income cited in the tables includes untaxed amounts for employer-provided health coverage, tax-exempt interest and retirement-plan contributions and growth, among other things. This can be significant.
On average, such benefits double the income of people in the bottom quintile and add more than 25% to the income of people in the top quintile, says Roberton Williams, an income-tax specialist at the Tax Policy Center. That means a taxpayer whose stated pay is $130,000 might be reaping another $35,000 annually in untaxed income.
“Most people focus on the income they see in their paychecks or portfolios and forget about untaxed benefits they receive,” Mr. Williams says.
The tables show just how progressive the income tax is. The three million people in the top 1% of earners pay nearly half the income tax.
Why is the share of income taxes negative for 40% of Americans? In recent decades Congress has chosen to funnel important benefits for lower-income earners through the income tax rather than other channels. Some of these benefits, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and the American Opportunity Credit for education, make cash payments to people who don’t owe income tax.
People receiving such payments do pay other federal taxes, of course, such as those for Social Security and Medicare. If these taxes are included, the share of federal taxes paid by the lowest two quintiles turns positive.
The share of tax paid by the top 20% of Americans also changes when such social-insurance levies are included: It drops from more than 80% of income taxes to about 67% of all federal taxes
