Frankham BS: A discussion - What is antisemitism? . (334* d) RE: BS: A discussion - What is antisemitism? . 20 Mar 05


I don't believe that antisemitism means criticism of Zionist policy. I believe you can still be a good Jew and not like everything Israel does. In fact, there are groups within Israel today such as Gush Shalom that criticize Israeli policy who are just as Jewish as the Likud.

One of the problems is that Israel is coming to terms with whether or not it remains or becomes more of a theocracy. There is a tendency for it to be less theocratic today. I believe that this is a healthy trend. I would hate for the US to take a position that it is a Christian nation, which fortunately, it is not, although I've heard some Israelis make that incorrect assertion.

Anti-Jewish prejudice does prevail but historically Islam has been more tolerant of Judaism than Christianity. This is why it's difficult to understand the "unholy" alliance between Christo-fascist Evangelists and Israel.
