70. what about right-antisemitism?
Edited on Thu Aug-03-06 11:43 AM by oberliner
I completely agree that some (especially on the right - Rush Limbaugh types) will use charges of anti-semitism as a way to silence valid criticisms of Israeli policies.

Would you agree that there are right-wingers who criticize Israel and include anti-semitism in their critique (i.e. Jews control America, Israelis are worse than the Nazis, etc)?

Do you think it's fair for people to condemn those sorts of statements as anti-semitism when and if they are part of someone's criticism of Israel?

Has any post here or elsewhere in the progressive community ever crossed over the line from criticizing Israeli policies into making the sorts of statements (Jews control America, Israelis are worse than the Nazis) that are considered anti-semitic in nature?
