MODERATORS
Wanting a homeland for them (in order to purge them from one's own country because of one's own bigotry) is absolutely anti-Semitic.
Personally, I like having different types of people around and it would suck if Jewish people all moved back to Israel.
Theodore hertzel encouraged antisemitism to encourage Jews to move and modern Zionists do too.
Having a homeland does not imply they have to live there. I'm glad to have them around too, and I'm glad they have an international ally and a place to escape to should pogroms return. They are still frequently scapegoated by the right and are the subject of countless conspiracy theories. It wasn't long ago they were driven from the Muslim world, and it's a good thing they had Israel to escape to. In WWII, before Israel existed, they didn't.
Not everyone thinks this way. "Go back where you came from" is a rallying cry of racist bigots around the world. Israel is just passing the buck on violence against stateless people.
