Actually, this is classic "begging the question."

Propose a statement [["So many people hate the Jews and Israel") and then ask why.

What is happening here is we are conflating two very different things: The Jews [[religiously? ethnically? culturally?) and the state of Israel.

Littlebuddy, our ardent defender of Israel, would have us believe that these are the same thing.

To hate the Jewish people is to be an anti-Semite.

To hate the government of Israel? That's a rational and understandable sentiment.

Of course, to understand that sentiment, one would have to take a good, unbiased look at the state of Israel and its actions. Good luck with that.
