Anti-Semitic ?

Anti-Semitic, what does that really mean?

This is all "if you are not with us, you are against us" dipole statements. The vast majority of people do not give a damn. It is just an irrelevant concept. It is miss-leading to cage the question as a dipole; it is actually the two corners of a wide field, with many layers of concern.

The Jews are not innocent either. They invaded the Middle-east from Africa. Later they invaded again after WWii, and took land from the Palestinians. The reality is the Jews are not blameless, but an invasive culture who demand their own way. They deserve all the distrust, dislike, anomisty they get. They do not deserve violence except in return of violence. Defense is always permitted.

We need to separate hatred, the internal feeling from violence, the outward expression of that hate. No one can impose a feeling on others, it just cannot be done, try as you like. The politicians can regulate all they like, but it is impossible. They can however make appeals reason, and if their reasons are sound, influence our decisions.  Understand that hatred is often earned through past actions, and kept alive in the present, often by actions.

Trump is polarizing figure, those that hate Trump and those that hate "those who hate Trump". Note that I have used the negatives here; Not all those that support Trump hate those who oppose Trump. Some do not feel that strongly either way. We are a warring species. We need to learn to accept this and deal accordingly, while understanding this. The Europeans of the 19 Century, (+/-) took these land from the Natives; and allowed some of the natives to live. Those have grown into resentment, and we live with that today in Canada.

Others owned slaves; some still do today, and others still would like to. That is the history of the US that they live with, along with a military/gun industry, that is the biggest in the world, and it is a major employer, and political powerful. The US generates strong feelings intentionally, so they are welcome to all the troubles that brings. No one is willing to tone down the rhetoric. It is all aimed at raising passions, not understanding. Understanding requires admitting your part in any conflict, and seeing it from the other side.There is too little tolerance, understanding, and too much physical provocation and action today.

Overpopulation; not enough space between people, or groups is a major contributor to the problem. People keep doing things that we do not like, and the resentment raises. Armament is not the long term solution, that is escalation of the problem, of the risk of Violante. Understand the real causes; inequality, resentment for real and perceived slights, abuse, historical wrongs, etcetera, on both sides, and learning to live with reality, without forcing change onto the other group is a required skill. That skill is lacking in the US today.
