Subject: RE: BS: Operation Cast Lead Explained
More hasbara manipulation of people's perceptions. It's absolutely necessary for the government of Israel and its supporters to try to smear and discredit people who support freedom and equal rights for Palestinians by falsely accusing them of being anti-Semites, because that's the only thing they've got to work with. They are trying to defend the indefensible, and they know it. The only way to ensure that they can continue their indefensible practices is to silence those who speak out about them. The government of South Africa under apartheid used similar tactics in its efforts to hold onto power.

All anyone needs to do is ask whether or not the people who support the government of Israel's policies and practices would support the same policies and practices if they were being used by their own government against they themselves. The answer, of course, is that none of the members of Israel's government and none of its supporters would stand for it. And this shows us who the real haters are.

It should also be noted that the European Jews who hold the most power in Israel are not Semites.
