Thread Name: BS: Mudcat Anti-semitism
Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Anti-semitism
Being critical of things a country does to the people in places ruled and occupied by that country is not "anti-British people" or "anti-American people" or "anti-Russian people" or "anti-Iranian people", or "anti-Ethiopian people". Or bigotted towards people with links and loyalties towards those countries who are living elsewhere. And that is demonstrated by the fact that some of the most cogent critics involved are natives of those countries.

When apologists for the governments involved try to suggest that people involved in these kind of criticism must be racist bigots or traitors, that rightly gets dismissed as flannel.

If the cap fits, wear it...

I have never read a single word by Carol which could fairly and honestly be described as anti-semitic.
