. . . .but whether the criticizer wants to IMPROVE the thing being criticized or wants to DESTROY it.

It's great fun to sit back and make those distinctions. But what bothers folk like Pipes is criticisms of Israel. And what he attacked were those self same criticisms.

Some times, however, criticism goes to the roots of things. It's still speech and still protected speech.

The "radical Islamists" line trotted out when folk don't agree with the criticisms is an exact anologue of McCarthyism.
