No offense, but one smarmy, sarcastic video is hardly an authority for such things. I'm sure if I gave a fuck I could find a video documenting all the fantastic contributions of Israel's neighbors who you so quickly deride.

And it is not acceptable to hate the Jews (even Miles would agree with that. I hope ). However, being critical of Israel as a nation-state and being anti-semetic are two vastly different things. That is one of the most commonly used strawman arguments and frankly it's just childish and diversionary.

Also, scientific achievement and business innovation/production is no reason not to criticize a nation. Nazi Germany was very productive and their scientists were responsible for some amazing innovations, both during the war and afterwards.
