So you say. This is one of your logical leaps I'm talking about. The text doesn't say it means that, but you're claiming does. If I squint and tilt my head, I can barely see how that works, but again, its a "all stars have to align" type thing, and I just don't think it likely that your reading is right.
Not protecting criticism of the modern state of Israel, but protecting non-Israeli people that are Jewish. (Except the Nazi one. That's a problem for me too.)
Nothing wrong with the first half. Its not Israel specific. The second half is a bit strange and vague meaning lots of room for defense on both sides.
You're going to have to explain your problem with this one to me. Its holding Israel accountable as any other nation state, and open to the same criticisms.
I had to look up what a "blood libel" even was. This isn't referring to the modern state of Israel formed in 1948, but instead pre-1948. As in 16th-17th century. All of the "blood libel" references I could fine all pre-date 1948. So this isn't protecting the modern state of Israel from criticism.
I don't like this one. If they are acting like Nazis then they are acting like Nazis. Why the restriction?
I have no problem with this one. Are you suggesting you would want to hold Jewish people living in, say, Queens New York responsible for the actions of the modern state of Israel?
Again, you've made 3 or 4 logical leaps to make that statement true. Each leap makes it less likely and hard to swallow.
I just grabbed each one that used the word Israel. I don't have an argument for or against each one explicitly and I agree on the Nazi one with what you said. I do have an argument in the first one (I think you saw that).
It was more just showing that the definition clearly includes Israel, the state of Israel and the lower points don't even mention Jews or Judaism, only israel.
