Except for the fact that everyone knows such a state would never be a reality with a plan to create a Palestinian majority and eliminate any notion of Jewish sovereignty over any portion of the land.

Their talk of democracy in such a state is one for majority Palestinian rule and Jews being a minority. It would create a state where Jewish symbols have no roles as symbols of state, but Palestinian symbols do. It would create a state Palestinians could return to, but Jews would be forbidden from returning to. It would create a state that might pay lip service to being binational, but would certainly be not in practice.

It is clear that the ultimate goal, whether they explicitly state so or not, is for there to be a Palestinian state and for that state to be achieved through the destruction of the Jewish State. That is inherently anti-Semitic. Those on the other side are called anti-Arab for holding that view with regards to a Greater Israel. Why should those that seek the destruction of Israel not be given a taste of their own medicine and called out as the anti-Semites that they are?

But at its core, it believes, implicitly, that Palestinians have the right to a state, but Jews do not? How is that not anti-Semitic to its very core?

No one here has said it's unreasonable for there to be a Palestinian state.

And where is the accountability for the Arab leaders of 1947-1948? If they had agreed to partition then, there would have been a Palestine born alongside Israel. Why are so many silent about that?

I mention those leaders simply because those that seek Israel's destruction bring up the whole history of Jewish leadership in an attempt to indict and give argument for the deed they seek to accomplish.

It is one thing to critique policy and something totally different to embrace those that cloak their anti-Semitism in opposition to Israel policy.

Binational is simply a nice term for a one-state solution that recognizes Palestinian national rights and says that Jews have no national rights of our own. Even in our ancestral homeland we are condemned to be nothing more than a tolerated minority with absolutely no special rights of our own. What other people would be expected to tolerate that?

And, the vehicle for that movement is BDS.
