well if anyone that condemns your actions is an anti-Semite then i guess you've used the ultimate circular logic and basically said. I cannot be wrong. Anyone that says I'm wrong hates me because I'm Jewish, either ethnically or religiously or both.

That is not at all what I am saying. Rather, when one trades in stereotypes or group level accusations, it tends to invite a suspicion of prejudice, even where the person making such statements is not an anti-semite. So, while as an example your statement does not conclusively demonstrate that you are an anti-semite, it certainly suggests a reasonable probability that you are.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but you, like everyone else, are accountable for your behaviors and actions. If you actively move against the anti circumcision groups and rhetoric then you are doing something bad in my mind.

I refer you back to my last sentence. I, despite being Jewish, strongly support laws restricting circumcision. As, for that matter, do a great many other Jews. That there are some, especially among the religious, who oppose such laws as a matter of religious freedom, it does not mean that targeting Jews as a group is appropriate. And for that matter, in a country such as the US, a majority of circumcisions are performed by and on gentiles.

I target no one. although I do know for a fact that more Jews then not find any person that is against circumcision to be an anti-Semite. So you are an anti-Semite. Or a self hating Jew.

See that makes no sense. and someone who is critical of a group of people isnt automatically saying that all of those people that are a part of that group are bad. I applaud the Jewish people that are for changing abusive traditions, as i would any.

The simple fact is that there are groups of people that behave badly. Many but not of feminist on many issues behave badly, many but not all Jewish people behave badly on certain issues.

All I know is that i hear anti-Semite thrown around more often then racist, and I'm from Texas where it used to be an issue, in may places it still is, sheesh my own grandfather was a racist. A lot of black people know that there is a lot of power in what happened to them in the past and they do often play the black card. That doesn't make everyone else a racist that many black people do this tho.. Just like it doesn't make people anti-Semitic simply because many Jewish people think their rights are more important than other peoples rights.

But then again.. Wouldn't anti-Semite be simply anything that goes against a Jewish persons will? So does that mean a Jew cannot be an anti-Semite? Or perhaps most Jewish people are anti-Semites because they support hurting other Jews via circumcision. Hmm this is getting confusing, better label everyone an anti-Semite.
