Paul,

Thanks for your comment.

1. Even if true, this would not be an excuse.

2. I hope I may be so bold as to suggest that Germany circa 1920-1945 displayed some rather well-developed antisemitism, which can't be explained by Israeli occupation of anything.

3. For more evidence of antisemitism that isn't explained by Israeli occupation, review the history of...any country where Jews have tried to live.
