I never said Jews get a pass. I said when someone says "Jews" it's usually going to be an anti-Semitic opinion, so it's important to distinguish. The majority of people in the world are not like the population of atheist forums, in real life when someone says "Damn Jews" it's going to be a racist and anti-Semitic non religious based comment. It's not possible to know what someone means by "Jew" at first glance because there's many definitions of what Jew is supposed to be.
I agree about Israel, about 20% of the population is not Jewish. But I think Israel is a country that is supposed to safeguard Jews in case of future persecutions. You never know the future, before the holocaust no one was thinking it would exist and Jews were safe in Europe. Israel should be secular, but it will be predominantly a country run by jews the same way western countries are run by white people and African countries by black people, Japan by Japanese, China by Chinese, etc.

Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
