>>But one cannot be against Israel or Zionism, as opposed to this or that Israeli policy or Zionist position, without being anti-Semitic.<<

He's wrong, of course. His argument is a form of blackmail. "Agree with me or you are a racist."

On the slippery slope to the Holocaust, no doubt.

He also mischaracterizes the case against Sharon.

Anti-Semitism, or should one say pro-palestinianism, or actually "anti-Sharonism", is dangerously on the rise.

The French in any case may hardly be sensitive to anti-Semite slurs, but they sure go nonlinear over anything that targets the Catholic Church!

Catho pressure groups filed a lawsuit when the film on Larry Flynt was shown in France, to have the posters taken down; they showed Flynt posing "en crucifix" against a backdrop of an American flag. They seemed to think the film was about porno from what I recall also, go figure.
