I posted the article because there are a lot of interesting discussions and disagreements regarding whether or not there is a component of anti-semitism present in some of the ways in which people talk about and are critical of Israeli policy and Zionism generally. Some folks have pointed to the fact that there are Jewish people who are at the forefront of such criticism, noting that it would be ridiculous to call them (or their criticism) anti-semitic. Others have stated that the very fact that someone is Jewish compels them to speak out about Israeli policies. Personally, I find the whole conversation to be quite fascinating and I enjoy reading and sharing different perspectives as a variety of people explore and reflect on these topics.
