Anti-semitism is not the same thing as criticism of Israel's policies. I am an American and am critical of many of my country's policies but that doesn't make me an anti-American except in the mind of narrow bigots.

I would imagine that there are quite a number of Israeli's who are critical of the Sharon regime. I know that they are often "refusniks" and put in jail.

George Will can write fairly well and purports to have a modicum of persuasion in his arguments. He is opinionated, however, and reflects a Right-wing point of view. That's why he is on the op-ed columns and not to be taken as the final word on anything. In short, it's spin.
