67. anti-Israelism is not Judeophobia, when...
Edited on Sun Nov-06-11 09:05 AM by Paulas
Singling out
When one doesn't sinlge out this tiny country, (which is implying being worse than others).

Blaming...
When one criticize the Arab-Islamic side (just as much), that causes (most) of its own civilian deaths.

Israel's factual democracy
When one doesn't try to portray Israel as being different than any other democratic Western society (with its flaws).

'History revionism'
When one doesn't try to revise history, attempting to deny Jews' link to their historic land.


Finding a radical anti-Israel Jew to supprt his/her propaganda, does NOT exonerate one from 'anti-Semitism.'

As Prof. Robert S. Wistrich writes: "It is no accident that both the radical Muslims and the neo-Nazis so eagerly quote from such left-wing anti-imperialists as Noam Chomsky and Norman Finkelstein... as Jewish alibis to cover up their own virulent racism."

Casualties in operation... (1) Those so-called "civilians" include many combatants, and 2) Palestinian-Arab routine cruel tactic of using its population)

Culture of Hate
"A racism which denies the history and sufferings of its victims."
http://www.nationalreview.com/comment/comment-yeor080202.asp

WashingtonPost article: "Fine Line: Criticizing Israel Without Anti-Semitism" when it entails: misinformation, lies and singling out Israel, disproportionately criticizing Israel."
http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/onfaith/panelists/adin_steinsaltz/2007/02/criticizing_israel_without_bei.html

Author laments attempts to "nazify" Israel, that to call it "racist" is a bigoted campaign against Israel being seen the 'Jew' among states.

HuffPost: "It seems that Jews are the only group that you can attack with impunity because they are the only ones unwise enough to tolerate it."
