He is not alone and every nation has its "traitors", the Jewish diaspora not excluded. But I guess you are right, a Jew can be called many names but Anti Semite. On the same note, however, I believe a Jew can be an Anti Zionist, right? Then the sole case where the Anti Zionist may not automatically be labelled Anti Semite by those playing that game. Taro

And what do you make of anti-Zionist Jews such as French intellectual Guy Sorman? The latter once blurted on a TV talkshow that Israel was as transient a geopolitical construct as the ill-fated Kingdom of Jerusalem of yore (under the Crusaders' rule)... Sorman quickly added --in a clumsy attempt to placate his Jewish audience (Franz-Olivier Giesbert, Pierre Benichou, and Alain Minc(*)-- that most of his kin live in Israel. You can't brand Sorman an anti-Semite --he is a Semite! I guess you categorize him as a "self-hating Jew"? Coining Israel as a transient, geopolitical construct is hardly anti-Semitism. In fact, he may well be right. Suspecting a Jew, however, behind nearly every bad event in the Western world can easily be seen as a form of anti-Semitism. ted
