The establishment of Israel was accomplished by Plan Dalet, the premeditated & systematic ethnic cleansing of 700,000+ Palestinians by Zionist forces because they were not Jewish. Anyone who says that stating such a historical fact is an act of anti-Semitism is a coward & a liar.
The extract above is from Ilan Pappe’s “The Ethnic Cleansing of Palestine” which outlines in great detail the planning and implementation of Plan Dalet and explains how the forcible removal of the indigenous population was (and remains) central to Israel’s founding ideology.
Presumably the Labour Party leader candidates and much of the UK Left would now consider Pappe an anti-Semite for writing such a book....
As part of Plan Dalet, Zionist forces committed multiple atrocities such as the massacre of Tantura in May 1948 as recalled here by survivors.

For Aaron Bastani, such brutal violence - without which Israel could not have been established - was “inevitable & entirely necessary”
Massacres such as Tantura never stopped and have been committed habitually by Israeli forces since its establishment. Such violence is a prerequisite for the continuation of its existence as an ethnocracy. https://twitter.com/louis_allday/status/928550100934250496?s=21 https://twitter.com/Louis_Allday/status/928550100934250496
This murderous sentiment is the logical end point of Zionism as an ideology, it is violent and racist in its core.
