I know what Zionism is.
Explain what relevance it has to international affairs.
'Anti-Semitic' is a term which means hatred towards the Jews (a specific ethno-cultural group), and nothing to do with people who are broadly classed as Semitic (such as Arabs).
I hope this helps your understanding of the issue.

That's fair enough that you wish the US to isolate herself from other nations.
The problem is that so many other people thinly veil their hatred for Jewish people under the guise of being 'anti-Israel' or 'anti-zionist'.
Yet, we get barely any complaints about Western countries invading, funding, colonising and exploiting countries such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, the Yemen, etc.

Thats just plain ignorance. There are plenty of Jews who reject Zionism, myself being one. Why should USA (a sovriegn nation) be subject to the decisions of the illegal formation of Israel under the illegally formed Leage of Nations???
The Jews are not supposed to re-enter the Land until the Messiah arrives. I see no Messiah on earth, so what's the deal?
The exact text of what Martin Niemoller said,
and which appears in the Congressional Record,
October 14, 1968, page 31636 is:
"When Hitler attacked the Jews
I was not a Jew, therefore I was not concerned.
And when Hitler attacked the Catholics,
I was not a Catholic, and therefore, I was not concerned.
And when Hitler attacked the unions and the industrialists,
I was not a member of the unions and I was not concerned.
Then Hitler attacked me and the Protestant church --
and there was nobody left to be concerned."
Niemoller was a pastor in the German Confessing Church
who spent eight and one-half years in a Nazi concentration camp.

I understand your position, and equally respect it. But, this thread isnt about anti-semitism or any other form of hate. Its about the fact that Zionism has infiltrated our Govt, Churchs, and schools, and basically, when it comes to US foreign policy, Israel calls the shots...not the Prez, not congress nor the people.
Mossad's spies knew about 9/11 before it happened. They were there to witness it and celebrate its occurence. Our so-called allie (Israel) did nothing to warn us. That makes Israel 'accessory after the fact', a punishable crime in homeland America. So why cater to them? Because they control us and will continue to do so until they have sucked us dry. Then they will feed our corpses to the nations that have grown to hate us on account of their reproach.
Its not about Jews, its about corrupt banking, politics and propaganda...its about Zionism.

You must surely understand the difference between the US-Israel relations, and the US-Afghanistan, US-Libya relationships.
The latter is uninvited colonialism, the former is a mutual entente cordiale.
Yet, it's the former which appears to get so many ATS members in a flap.edit on 2-4-2014 by AnimatedMatter because: (no reason given)
Main article: British Uganda Program
The British Uganda Program was a plan to give a portion of British East Africa to the Jewish people as a homeland.
The offer was first made by British Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamberlain to Theodore Herzl's Zionist group in 1903. He offered 5,000 square miles (13,000 km2) of the Mau Plateau in what is today Kenya. The offer was a response to pogroms against the Jews in Russia, and it was hoped the area could be a refuge from persecution for the Jewish people.
The idea was brought to the World Zionist Organization's Zionist Congress at its sixth meeting in 1903 meeting in Basel. There a fierce debate ensued. The African land was described as an "ante-chamber to the Holy Land", but other groups felt that accepting the offer would make it more difficult to establish a Jewish state in Palestine. Before the vote on the matter, the Russian delegation stormed out in opposition. In the end, the motion to consider the plan passed by 295 to 177 votes.
The next year, a three-man delegation was sent to inspect the plateau. Its high elevation gave it a temperate climate, making it suitable for European settlement. However, the observers found a dangerous land filled with lions and other creatures. Moreover, it was populated by a large number of Maasai who did not seem at all amenable to an influx of Europeans.
After receiving this report, the Congress decided in 1905 to politely decline the British offer. Some Jews, who viewed this as a mistake, formed the Jewish Territorialist Organization with the aim of establishing a Jewish state anywhere

Israel is one of the biggest enemies of the united states and needs to be treated as such. All sympathizers need to be removed from any public office and put on trial for putting the interests of Israel ahead of those of the U.S.

Then you ought to be able to show actual crimes of treason, and proof of them...
where is your proof of treason? I'm happy to discuss that.. but blanket statements with no facts attached are no more than opinions, and everyone does have one...

For the record:
During the Six-Day War between Israel and several Arab nations, the United States of America maintained a neutral country status.[9] Several days before the war began, the USS Liberty was ordered to proceed to the eastern Mediterranean area to perform a signal intelligence collection mission in international waters near the north coast of Sinai, Egypt.[

The Liberty was a SPY ship.
