A while back I posted an article on another thread that showed, based upon a recent genetic study supporting arguments for a 5000 year tradition of intermixing in the Mediterranean region, most Israeli's are genetically indistinguishable from non-Jews and Muslims native to the region. Since Arabs are also Semitic people, then for Israelis to be Anti-Palestinian is, for them, to be a nation of anti-Semites.

Ze'ev Boim, an Israeli Minister, asking rhetorically, "What is it about Islam as a whole and the Palestinians in particular? Is it some form of cultural deprivation? Is it some genetic defect? There is something that defies explanation in this continued murderousness." would be anti-Semitic and seemingly would provoke internal calls for him to be castigated. I'm sure he won't be.

If it is indeed a genetic defect, as Boim suggests, then it affects all of Israel as well, save the converts. Ironic.
