interesting point - "semite" is actually an ethnic classification that include Arabs as well as jews.
And obviously it's not anti-semitic, it's making the point that arabs have plenty lot of land, while Israelis have sod-all. Jews as a whole have been being fucked over royally for 2000 years, it's really not such a bad thing that they have their own nation now.
Shame that the Israeli government are a shower of bastards, though. We never dealt with Irish terrorism by blowing up the houses of IRA bomber's families. Of course, that's not an entirely fair example, but you get the point; Israel's tactics are massively over the top. The Palestinian terrorists are nasty little shits, too, of course, but the continuation of atrocities on both sides is ridiculous. I'm essentially against any stance that is strongly supportive of the actions of either side - both sides are right to some extent in principal, but go much too far in practise. Nasty, messy situation.
