the question is have you heard it from people here? If you think that some of my remarks gave any sort of that impression, then I apologize. it has never been my intension. I simply think that someone who is against the government of Israel, as it is currently composed is not necessarily an anti-Semite. I separate Israel from Judaism. For instance the new loyalty oath that the government of Israel requires new citizens etc to swear a loyalty oath to the "Jewish State of Israel" Since I disagree with injecting religion of any sort into government, does that make me anti-Semetic? As far as I can see, Israel is a modern state incorporated in 1949 by a UN edict. I disagree to a very great extent with the policies of the Likud government. Does that make me an anti-semite?
