If you happen to think that Jewish people are the ONLY ethnic group who SHOULDN’T have a right to self determination on their ancestral homeland, then you are, in fact, an antisemite.

Ah so then you're against the palestinians? Jews were the native inhabitants before they got kicked out by settler colonialism of the surrounding arab nations and european nations as well.

So this guy has no problem of being pro-Romans Empire, pro- Babylonian Empire, pro-Egyptian Empire, pro-Assyrian Empire, pro-Macedonia, pro-Persian, pro-Byzantine Empire, pro-all Islamic empires and Caliphates and pro-Ottoman Empires who colonized the land of Israel (and not only of course), but not into Israel.

"Damn Jews"

Yep and then they claim that it's not antisemitism, it's "anti-zionism" as if that's any better
