Manhattan: Although the Daily News gives more balanced reporting than many other outlets, it's important to be clear about what antisemitism is. Israel has been looked at as a homeland for Jews only and a blessing from God after the Holocaust, but it can't be because of the nature of any political entity. Israel can be praised or criticized as any country can be. Antisemitism is the view that Jews are inferior or bad simply because they are Jewish. It has no relation to Israel as a political state.
