Suicide bombings aren't just a disagreeable tactic of resistance to the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank. They are not the tactic of someone seeking a two state or binational single state solution. They're a violent rejection of Jews having any business living anywhere in what was once Palestine. They are also acts of collective punishment. Hence the equation of supporting suicide bombers with anti-semitism.
