To be quite honest with you, Searle, I was one who did not differentiate between Zionism and Judaism. But of course, most Jews would probably argue that not to support Israel and its policies completely is an anti-Jew stance, and works against the Jewish people in Israel. I do see the distinction now of course, but I can also see that your opposition will have an almost impossible task of ever becoming mainstream.

That is why it is essential when criticizing the activities of Israel or the Lobby to make perfectly clear that one's criticism is against Zionists and not Jews -- which, of course, it is. What's the difference? Zionism and Judaism go hand in hand. You can't separate the two. The Jews have always been Zionists. This doesn't mean one won't be hated or smeared, quite the opposite, but one cannot be accused of racism (which is what antiSemitism is supposed to be). What does race have anything to do with the Jews? What makes someone racially "Jewish"?
