Thread Name: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Subject: RE: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Once again - arguments about whether criticicisms made of Israel and of those who oppose those criticisms are justified are completely irrelevant in this context. The only relevant issue is whether people who make such criticisms are motivated by antisemitism.

My contention is that making such criticisms is not in itself evidence of antisemitism. Such criticisms could indeed be motivated by antisemitism, but in order to make that charge some kind of evidence is essential, and I haven't seen any.
