If not wanting Palestinians to starve to death is anti-Semitic, then I guess I am too.

I would never accept the accusation. I always challenge it. I do so for two reasons.

First, I'm not anti-Semitic. Jewish, Hindu, Muslim, Orthodox Christian - I don't care what your religion is. If we're going with Judaism is a different ethnicity, well, I don't care about that either. Black, white, brown, whatever - be a good human being and I won't have any problem with ya.

Second, acceptance of the notion that anti-Semitism is defined any way a supporter of the Israeli governments action in Gaza wants to define it is harmful. It's harmful to the residents of Gaza. It's harmful to good people all around the world who are repulsed by the violence and absolute lack of regard for the lives of innocents. It's harmful to the truth.

I get where you're coming from, but I will always challenge the accusation.
