Sure, but is RMS calling for them to cease existing (which I'm not sure she explicitly states) because she believes Israel (and its existence) violates international law/norms? Or because she hates Jewish people?

Reading her post, it seems to be the former, meaning she is not (or rather, her post is not) anti-Semetic. You can't whip that card out against anyone who don't support Israel; many of them have political reasons, not racist reasons. The two are separate.

Its akin to suggesting that people that dislike the United States, and its actions internationally, hate white protestants... their are political underpinnings to anti-Americanism, not necessarily racist ones.
