Thanks for trying, Matt, but I fear you are fighting a lost battle here. It is the default tactic of the fanatically-pro-Israel crowd to label any criticism of anything Israel-related "anti-Semitic" -- be it criticism of the country itself, its regime, its politics, its population, its religion or its canned-pineapple export business. It is their way of trying to silence those who disagree with them. They just do not know any better (and I doubt it will change for the better anytime soon). The Fool is wrong anyway with his accusation. It is well known that I am on the Arab side of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict; As Arabs are also Semites, I cannot possibly be anti-Semitic (because then I would have to be for and against the Arabs at the same time, which is by definition impossible). It is one of the major flaws in the "logic" of the fanatically-pro-Israel crowd. > Why should anyone take you seriously at this point? I know it will be a while before *I* will take him seriously again.
