Is being pro Palestine mean your anti-Jew?

Question

I am really trying to understand the middle East conflicts and thought about how the Jewish people  are constantly on the middle of conflict. Why is that? Is it because they lost their lands and have been trying to establish lands for themselves ever since (Palestinians vs jews)?  What's the alternatives here?

Answer

No I do not think being pro-Palestine makes you anti-Jew. There are Palestinians who are for themselves and Palestine, but aren't against Jews. There are also Jews who are pro-Palestine, so does that make them against their own kind?? You can stand for one side but still hope for the well being of the other side too. People got to realize and understand that being with Palestine is not a bad thing at all, and that it doesn't mean you're anti-Semitic all of a sudden. You think someone who's pro-Palestinian forgot all about the Holocaust? No we didn't, and that's also why Palestinians didn't mind and agreed with Jews coming into their land, because Palestinians understood the pain of the Jews. Both groups have lived in the same land thousands of years together hundreds of years ago, but why can't they live peacefully now? Well maybe first because some other countries thought "oh yeah there's some land you guys can go and there are people there already, but good luck!" And Palestinians let them in and helped until the Jews wanted all of it for their own. At first it was only to take Jerusalem, but now most of Palestine is gone to Jews. Again I'm not saying kill either just Jews or just Palestinians. No, I'm saying Palestinians have a right to that land first and that Jews are allowed to stay to SHARE the land they were given to with the rightful owners.

Hello, this a little insight on the subject, incase you wanted to understand the conflict.
Israelis and Arabs have been fighting over Gaza on and off, for decades. It's part of the wider Arab Israeli conflict.
After World War II and the Holocaust in which six million Jewish people were killed, more Jewish people wanted their own country.
They were given a large part of Palestine, which they considered their traditional home but the Arabs who already lived there and in neighbouring countries felt that was unfair and didn't accept the new country.
In 1948, the two sides went to war. When it ended, Gaza was controlled by Egypt and another area, the West Bank, by Jordan. They contained thousands of Palestinians who fled what was now the new Jewish home, Israel.
Israel's recognition
But then, in 1967, after another war, Israel occupied these Palestinian areas and Israeli troops stayed there for years. Israelis hoped they might exchange the land they won for Arab countries recognising Israel's right to exist and an end to the fighting.
Israel finally left Gaza in 2005 but soon after, a group called Hamas won elections and took control there. Much of the world calls Hamas a terrorist organisation. It refuses to recognise Israel as a country and wants Palestinians to be able to return to their old home - and will use violence to achieve its aims.
Since then, Israel has held Gaza under a blockade, which means it controls its borders and limits who can get in and out. Life for the many of the 1.5 million Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip is difficult.
Israel controls its coastline and all the entry and exit crossings into Israel. There is another crossing point into Egypt. There is no working airport. Because access is so restricted, not many goods get into or out of Gaza. Food is allowed in, but aid agencies say families are not eating as much meat or fresh vegetables and fruit as they used to. There are often power cuts.
Large numbers of people are unemployed because businesses can get very few of their products out of Gaza to sell, and people don't have much money to buy things.
During the 1948 and 1967 wars hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left, or were forced out of, their homes and moved to neighbouring countries to become refugees.
More than 4.6 million Palestinians are refugees and their descendants, many living in camps in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Syria, Jordan and Lebanon. They get help from the United Nations
Do you see now why its important that we are against Israel?

Answer

It can get really anti-Semitic really fast, but it doesn't make you automatically anti-Semitic. 
I don't support Israel at all. But it's a very complicated situation but overall. It took me a long time to find an opinion about it. the Jewish people that have spoken about the issue with me seem to be very against Israel's actions.

Answer

As my Jewish bud has explained this to me before I’m still on the outside of this fight, and therefore what I say is just a drop in the hat. He thinks Israel is in the wrong.
From my understanding Israel is brutalizing Palestinians at the moment. This isn’t to say Palestinians have never taken up arms or fought, but that someone threw a rock and the receiver of said rock threw a flaming boulder that explodes. Wish my bud had the app because he gave a ridiculously well articulated argument about the Palestinians vs Israel situation, and it was very interesting given his family and himself are Jewish. 
I can’t say much more besides that I hope things get better for (everyone) but mainly the thousands of Palestinians on the receiving end of Israel. I’m not knowledgeable enough on their lands to really provide an opinion on that.

Answer

Nope. Being pro-Palestine does not make you anti-Semitic; rather, you would be anti-Zionist. Before Zionists (European colonialists with no religious bones in their bodies; very similar ideology to the KKK & many white supremacist groups) stole the land of Palestine through the Balfour Declaration (1917), Palestinians of all religious faiths [or lack thereof]--Christian, Muslim, and Jews --lived peacefully together. Palestinians fought back against the theft and continue to do so. Naturally, one resists and fights against the oppressor.

Answer

A Jewish person, it is anti-Semitic. The area has been passed back and forth between the peoples for centuries. To a devout Jewish person, the lands of Israel, were what was promised to us by G-d when the Israelites were freed from Egyptian bondage at the great exodus. Jews and the Israelis have fought and died for our right to even exist in this world. We have been enslaved, murdered, driven from our lands. All we as Jewish people want is to have what has long been ours.
