Jacob is raising an important question - really, we should be able to criticize Israel's politics etc. just as much as those of any other country. The problem arises when critics begin to question Israel's right to exist, which is close to being a call to genocide. Zionism, in essence, historically has been a call for the formation of Israel. I guess there is a difference between criticizing specific Israeli policies and/or actions - and attacking the very basis of its existence. in Europe and the Muslim world--even in Asia--traditional anti-Semitism has lately re-emerged as anti-Zionism, focused on the Jews of Israel, the role of Israel, and, for some, on Jews in the United States who support Israel.
