There is no blind defense of Netanyahu, his party or the actions of the right wing here.

What you will see is the support of the existence of the State of Israel as a Jewish nation - not the actions of its present government. One can hold both beliefs at the same time.... not black and white thinking.
Again, I have not seen defense of Netanyahu anywhere on DU. As far as I know, that's a straw man argument.
The thread about antisemitism in the US had nothing to do with Israel.
