I would guess one could make a case against the Israeli government for "crimes against humanity" for the Lebanon 82 stuff, perhaps some before and after

Evasive, John. The charge was a hundred years of "ethnic cleansing" and "genocide" against the Arabs of Palestine.

I genuinely don't know. I don't think the mere fact of criticisms at that level renders the charger an anti-semite. Remember, we are only talking about that post of Hermann's. I don't know his work so can't argue one way or the other about it.

More evasion. How is it you know enough to comment at first, but when you cannot answer a point, it all becomes beyond you? Hermann is a Chomskyite, he has co-authored books (not on linguistics) with Chomsky. To quote you, 'nuff said.

I've seen the signs but I thought we were talking about SI posts, not about protest signs. Are you changing the subject?

No, I was talking about common themes of what I did define as anti-Semitism, as opposed to criticism of the Israeli government, which you accused me of defining as anti-Semitism. Are you changing the subject?

Without that, the stuff you are complaining about is no more objectionable, perhaps even less so, than the constant refrain of anti-European bigotry, anti-leftist bigotry that passes for punditry in many FADG posts.

Oh really? You must show me the posts that accuse France of genocide or advocate that France should be wiped off the map. I must have missed them.
