"Alot of people do have strong views on Jews. It's a fact of life and it happens as does homophobia. " Does it make it right?
There is a massive difference between arguing against the stance of a government against a group of peoples and blaming a race/religion "The Jews" for all the problems. You can no more do this than blame "The Blacks" for gun crime, the "gays" moral standards slipping and the "Muslims" for blowing stuff up. As, believe it or not, not all Muslims are terrorist as not all Jews are power hungry media mogul baby killers.
