I am living in a small town where anti=Semitism has been alive and well the whole 14 years I have lived here. This may be why I get a bit shrill on the topic from time to time.

And this IS from a now-retired leftie who thinks the Palestinians have gotten shafted.

I used to have a steady who happened to be Jewish. He was routinely called a self-hating Jew by Zionist types because he worked for reconciliation in the Mid-East.

It is a very complicated topic.
