John - "killed according to Jewish rites" is the blood libel that antiSemites have used for centuries. They allege that Jews kill Christian and Muslim children and drain their blood to use in Jewish religious rituals. It has nothing to do with Sharon. religioustolerance.org

Oh, so now your position is that any criticism of Sharon puts the criticizer in the anti-semitic camp, right along side those sign carriers. No, John. My position is that "those sign carriers" have been showing up on campus as a regular feature in any anti-Israeli or pro-Palestinian demonstration, leaving those who do wish just to criticize Sharon in an uncomfortable position. If they want to criticize Israel, they find themselves walking behind "Zionism=Nazism" signs, just as I saw in Boston, at the pro-Palestinian march which attended the Israel independence day rally last June. The real anti-semites have been feeling freer and freer to express their feelings, in word and deed (as we saw two weeks ago at Concordia University in Montreal). That's not only conflation, a relatively unserious intellectual sin. It's also morally objectionable. Personally, I find it morally objectionable to turn a blind eye to resurgence of real, unabashed anti-Semitism, by which I do NOT mean, criticism of Israel's policies.
