> No one denied any Jewish claims

Yes you did. You said Israel was created by "forcefully stealing land." The vast majority of Jewish migrants in the late 19th century bought the land. If you're talking about the 1949 war... well, it was a war, in which the Israelis agreed to the fair UN partition plan, and the Arab states did not. At the very least, "stealing" is a very reductive way to summarize it.

> by saying it’s complicated, are trying to paint a simple picture

But is is complicated! That is actually true, and that's OK!

> in which Israel apparently didn’t do anything wrong

Of course Israel has done things wrong.

> That’s actually incredibly partisan

I am trying my absolute best to make comments in the spirit of HN. If you think it's too partisan to engage with, then I'm sorry, but you should know that I really did try.

So pointing out the fact that Israel has been stealing land from Palestinian people is denying Jewish claims?

Maybe you mean Zionist claims?

Do you also think that criticizing Israel in any way is antisemitic?
