Frankham BS: More on left-wing Anti-Semitism (107* d) RE: BS: More on left-wing Anti-Semitism 26 Apr 05


Here's the analogy. There are plenty of Right-wing Americans who accuse other Americans as being anti-American. The same is happens in Israel. Some Israelis call others anti-Israeli. There is not a lock-step uniform position on what is pro-Israeli or anti-Israeli, pro-semite or anti-semite. As a matter of fact, there is the old joke..you get two Jews in the same room and you will have twelve different opinions. :)

Israel is made
up of many thinking people who often have differning views
with each other....just like Americans.

What some call anti-American others call pro-American and the same case can be made for Israel. This said, there are Israelis who do not agree with the political leadership and policies of the Israeli government and the same can be said for America. The danger here is a kind of McCarthyism that uses rhetoric such as pro and anti for a political agenda and power struggle.
