Given your theoretical logic, Israeli emigrees then who express the same anti-Zionism must be masking a similar anti Semiticism, or in their case, a kind of self hatred because after all, they are Semitic/Jewish. It wouldn't be the first time. Interesting that, for you, its never the fault of Israel. Which means that no one can ever criticize Israel, Israeli or non Israeli alike, for fear of being labeled anti-Semitic........ It's one thing to criticize Israel, it is something else to embrace those who want to destroy Israel and kill the Jews. First, its "who want to destroy Israel and kill the Israelis ". To my knowledge, the Arabs are not all that concerned with the Jews living outside of the ME. They are mostly concerned with the Jews living as Israelis in the area that was once Palestine. Secondly, to my knowledge, the Europeans are not embracing Israel's enemies instead they want Israel to work constructively for the statehood of the Palestians. The truth is Israel over the last ten years has become increasingly aggressive to its neighbors, has become more recalcitrant when it comes to issue of Palestinian statehood And you learned this where, from some Michael Moore newsletter? No, I took a course on the ME.So save your anti-Zionism/anti Semitic BS for your John Birch meetings. Didn't you say you went to one? Or was it combjelly? Neither. Oh wait......CJ went to a meeting once. Frankly, it would not surprise me if one moved from nutty right to the nutty left. In France, apparently, people jump from LePen party to Communist party and back. Not to worry......left is where I'm at and left is where I'm staying.
