CarolC, your response to my posting is quite interesting. First, while my statement may "prove" that some people who oppose the government of of Israel are not anti-Semites, that, of course was not the point. The logical extension to your inference is that some such people 'are' anti-Semites. Second, I do not impute anti-Semitism to McGrath, but the use of those particular words is unfortunate. It may be that he has picked up that term from some other source that is playing with the anti-Semitic term, "Zionist agenda."

Guest,Guest-yes, Arabs are Semites. The term "anti-Semite", however, refers specifically to anti-Jewish, and has for over a hundred years. We have had this discussion at Mudcat before. Any other use of the term is (putting it in the best light) disingenuous!
