Yes, it is interesting that the state of Israel has gone to great lengths (no exaggeration - no antisemitism!) to proudly characterise itself as a Jewish state (in spite of the fact that two million Arabs live in it, a lot more if you count the ones Israel holds prisoner in Gaza). So let's see. Those of us who criticise the state of Israel for its actions against the Gazan people are, no doubt, criticising a "Jewish state". Well I can't help that. The "Jewish state" wasn't my idea. Calling yourself a "Jewish state" does not immunise you against criticism for the most foul behaviour on the grounds that your critics are "antisemitic." Nice try, but bugger off!
