Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
It's not anti-semitism, they just oppose Israel's policies.

“A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the indigenous Palestinian population and perpetuate a system of racial discrimination that ought to be opposed categorically….Definitely, most definitely we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian, rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian, will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”

Democrats want death to Israel
What Barghouti actually said is that: “A Jewish state in Palestine in any shape or form cannot but contravene the basic rights of the land’s indigenous Palestinian population and perpetuate a system of racial discrimination that ought to be opposed categorically.”
He added: “As we would oppose a Muslim state or a Christian state or any kind of exclusionary state, definitely, most definitely, we oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine. No Palestinian – rational Palestinian, not a sell-out Palestinian – will ever accept a Jewish state in Palestine.”
Barghouti then asserted: “Accepting modern-day Jewish Israelis as equal citizens and full partners in building and developing a new shared society, free from all colonial subjugation and discrimination as called for in the democratic state model is the most magnanimous, rational offer any oppressed indigenous population can present to its oppressors.”
That’s a far cry from the impression AIPAC and Alterman evidently hope to convey, that Barghouti and the BDS movement are seething with anti-Jewish bigotry.
Nice
So why isn't he leading a BDS movement against Saudi Arabia? And Israel isn't just a "Jewish state" 20% of the country is Arab.
So why isn't he boycotting the UAE?
Do you donate money to any causes? Why don't you donate money to all causes?
Historically the Palis have claimed all sorts of real estate to be their "homeland ".
Why?
Historically Jews have fared so well when they are a minority people in a Muslim country, especially a Muslim country populated with people that have been trying to wipe them out since their inception. I'm shocked Israel hasn't jumped to sign onto this great deal.
Do you believe he would oppose a Muslim state?
I don't.

“Barghouti’s father was a founding member of the Palestine Liberation Organization in 1964. “The PLO,” Omar recalls, “was very much part of our family [and] … our upbringing.”
“In a February 2015 talk sponsored by an SJP chapter in Portland, Oregon, Barghouti accused the United States and Israel of having secretly conspired to foment Islamic terrorism in order to create a pretext for military intervention and mass killings in the Muslim world. Said Barghouti: “We think that the U.S. and Israel are benefiting a lot from this ISIS phenomenon… Regardless [of] whether … the U.S. intelligence community created the beginnings of ISIS, well, they created [the] Taliban, they created Al-Qaeda, so why not ISIS? I mean, after all, who created bin Laden? It was the U.S. in Afghanistan…. We don’t have conclusive evidence. Regardless, who’s benefiting from ISIS? One thing is for sure: The tens of thousands of victims of ISIS are brown Muslim Arabs, predominantly.”
You need to learn to compartmentalize your morals.
Respect for saving this thread with a hint of joobs.
Now, here's the real thing.
Then idiots like you come here and applaud the bigotry. I think you and your lil' buddy HH need to starch your pointy hats again.
Of course you being the Kunt you are don’t address what he is actually calling for and claim I’m being dishonest.
