respectable I'm not sure "respectable " is the right word. Perhaps fashionable would have been a better choice. I think we can agree that it has been fashionable on more than a few occasions. I've been bemoaning an unwarranted anti-Jewish neo-con backlash in this country, for some time now. I believe there is a real danger. Increasingly popular are books like The Politics of Anti-Semitism amazon.com Book Description "Antisemite!" How did a term, once used accurately to describe the most virulent evil, become a charge flung at the mildest critic of Israel, particularly concerning its atrocious treatment of Palestinians? One answer is that there's no more explosive topic in American public life today than the issue of Israel, its oppression of Palestinians and its influence on American politics. Yet the topic is one that is so hedged with anxiety, fury and fear, that honest discussion is often impossible. ----------------------------------- While this book may be fine ( Not having read it, I wouldn't know), there are hate groups ready to size any opportunity. And those quick to use the slur of anti-Semitism to stifle any dissent, are a serious part of the problem. JMO lurqer
