By the way, asshole, do you think that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism? I didn't read through your initial post because I don't want to bother with the sea of bullshit you write. Just answer the question.

Its called "sarcasm", dipshit. And to request that someone say something nice about Jews in order to make you feel better is the most asinine thing I've ever heard in my life. Just because someone says something mean to you (which was sarcastic, by the fucking way) doesn't mean that all the Gentiles have to fall all over themselves singing praises of us Jews in order to make you feel better. Get over it.
And I sure as fuck don't consider an attack on your character an attack on the Jewish people. I'm Jewish and I think you are self-rightous, pompous, pedantic little shit. You are an embarrasment.

Defining whiteness is really difficult because it is a default category. It's something that we don't define. And part of whiteness is the fact that whites don't have to think about race. In my introductory sociology class, My teacher does an experiment with the students. On the first day of class, He ask us to write down five characteristics to describe ourselves. And then he doesn't make any mention of it. Eight weeks later, when we get to race and ethnicity in the course, He ask us, okay, turn back to your first page, and tell me what you wrote down. He can predict every person of racial minorities in the crowd will have put their race at or near the top of the list, while the whites in the group, except for a couple of trouble makers, don't have it on the list. They might put Polish or Italian or Irish - some sort of national origin up there on the list. But they don't put white or Caucasian or Euro-American.
Ethnicity might matter but race doesn't matter to white people. And that is part of what whiteness is. It's not having to think about being in the norm or dominant group. Beyond that, it is also a sense of privilege, a sense that this society is stacked in your favor and you can do anything, because the American society, the American economy, is sort of like a banquet and you can keep going up for more helpings. That is your system. It belongs to you. So there is a sense of entitlement that comes with whiteness as well.
The dominant "white" group of European ancestry would never consider people of semitic origins white. So, Jews are described as semitic. Jews who you claim to be white are actually Ashkenazi Jews or Jews who descended from Europe. They are also semitic they just happen to have the privilege of looking white. The majority of Jews in the world are actually people of color.
