I realise and recognise the origin of the term "antisemitism", and how it transferred and transfigured into common and popular usage, however that does not negate the fact that it's true linguistic and "scientific" meaning would include hatred of more than just Jewish peoples, despite it's common usage being more limited.
I would also carefully point out that I did not contribute any of the remarks to which you refer, but would suggest that IMO none, except those posted by Woschia, could possibly be considered derogatory to Jews and thus hint at any antisemitism.
Personally, I don't hate Jews, neither do I hate Israel - My family was Jewish a few hundred years ago - I do however disapprove of the political leaders and policies of the state of Israel, run under the doctrine of Zionism - I find it puzzling that a state that was founded by a people fleeing war, oppression, and persecution; seeking refuge from their suffering under the jackboots of a fascist regime, and founded on territory gifted by the former colonial power of that land, and thus left annexed from the original native inhabitants, ends up becoming a state that exhibits its own form of fascist regime; that creates a state of continuous war and oppression against the original native inhabitants; making them "outsiders", persecuting them, restricting the rights and freedoms of these "outsiders", annexing territory and seizing their property; forever crushing these people under the new jackboots of soldiers descended from those who fled such things themselves! - Zionist Israelis have become antisemites to their own long lost brothers! - So sad...

*applause* Oppression should be opposed wherever it is. Just because someone is the recipient of oppression does not excuse them from responsibility for exhibiting oppression on others.
