There is actually nothing anti-semitic in wishing that the history of anti-semitism in Europe, culminating in the Holocaust had not happened, and that's its consequence in the setting up of the state of Israel, with its devastating effects on the lives of the inhabitants of the area, had never come about.

We have to live with the history that happened, make the most of it, and try to repair the damage. Ultimately good things can come as a result of terrible crimes. The Slave Trade and the Irish Famine had some wonderful consequences. Present day America, and the world, would be very much culturally poorer if they had not.

But they were disasters for all that. And of course we can never know what the world lost because they happened.
