Thank you for the link....Interview w/ Roger Waters.

Of course anti-semitic means anti Jewish. There are good decent Jews in Israel and all over the world but, they can do not much. Norman Finkelstein and Ilan Pappe and others like them have no credibility with the majority (99%) of Israelis. The good guys are not going to win.

I should have added "exclusively" anti-jewish. Would you call Arabs or some other Semitic people anti-semitic if they oppose Israel? They would be opposing themselves too, wouldn't they?

But see, somebody in Germany couple centuries ago decided anti-semitism means anti-jewish. And the world slavishly followed the German journalist ever since.

I read that a few weeks ago and again today. No matter the details, it's now exclusively used to mean anti-anything Jewish. The Jews love to throw it around; a label few want to be accused of. Esp. the GD USA government. We're brain washed by Jewish "interests".
