So a report deemed anti-Israeli by the Israelis is also smeared as "anti-Semetic". Looks like any external criticism of Israel is "anti-Semetic". Of course, labeling anyone that criticizes Israel an anti-Semite, has been the Zionists greatest weapon. Here is an example from our neighbors to the north. cbc.ca Please correct me if I am wrong, but are not the Palestinians also Semites, at least by the classical definition ? Of course they are. Not only the Palestinians but probably 80% of the Arab world. PS - Note that Lieberman did not flat out deny the Swedish writer's statements, but only accused him of being a "racist". Why not a full denial ? LOL, that is rich coming from Lieberman, the man is calling for ethnic cleansing in Palestine.

Yes the Pals are also Semites according to dictionary.com a seemingly unbiased site dedicated to simple definitions. Frankly this whole "anti-semetic" decades long media campaign has me confounded by the success of its implementation. Being a Welsh man, I find a certain neutral territory on this matter. Neither the media anointed semites nor the non media anointed semites have done us much harm, so I am neutrally left to wonder what the H the rest of the world is smoking as they let this term run rampant in our newspeak and halls of government. Isn't the card just a tad bit overplayed to the benefit of one half of the same over the other? Brothers should be good to each other. Family squabbles detract from the appreciation of the whole family. Where are their wise leaders? Who could trust either in such a debacle? Allowing a multi thousand year middle eastern spat to influence western politics is a large mistake imo.
