Anybody who consistently speaks about Israel from a negative POV....as the aggressor vs the victim...is an Anti-Semite.
Seriously, DC? You should be smarter than that. There are a great number of orthodox Jews who oppose the Zionist establishment of Israel as not only in error, but as sinful.
"The anti-Zionist world-view of the ultra-orthodox groups Neturei Karta and Satmar Hasidism perceives Zionism and the establishment of the State of Israel as an anti-messianic act, conceived and born from sin. These groups vigorously deny the very legitimacy of the collective political return to the Holy Land and to Jewish sovereignty. For them, this is the handiwork of humans, violating the Jewish people’s oath of political quietism.
In the words of the Midrash (as expounded by Rashi), the people were adjured not to return collectively to the Land of Israel by the exertion of physical force, nor to “rebel against the nations of the world,” nor to “hasten the End.” In short, they were required to wait for the heavenly, complete, miraculous, supernatural, and meta-historical redemption that is totally distinct from the realm of human endeavor. This waiting over two millennia manifests the very essence and singularity of the Jewish people, expressing their faith in divine providence, in the assurance of the prophets, and in messianic destiny."

http://www.myjewishlearning.com/article/ultra-orthodox-anti-zionist/I hardly think these people are anti-Semites.
A word more on this term: "anti-Semite".
"Semite, person speaking one of a group of related languages, presumably derived from a common language, Semitic (see Semitic languages). The term came to include Arabs, Akkadians, Canaanites, some Ethiopians, and Aramaean tribes including Hebrews."
Semitism is a language group which includes all those languages above, including Arabic. Thus to call someomne an "anti-Semite" is to claim he is anti- all those groups, including the Arabs, who are thus anti- themselves, which is inherently contradictory.
I do not mean to be pedantic, but I loathe the sloppy use of language which anyone should recognize how much damage that has done in this modern era. In this case we are talking not about Semitism, but Zionism which is a political movement and thus not above criticism.
