I did neither.

I was merely saying that if the poster I was replying to wanted to stop handing out "free bes to non-citizens'" we could stop handing them to Israel immediately. The plight of the Palestinians has created a vast amount of hatred and anger in the Middle East and is a major talking point for many terrorist organizations. My point is ceasing our support for an apartheid state would invariably help.

To your request, I concede. You didn't call me a anti-Semite it's just the normal line of argument when someone brings this topic up.
