I detest GWB and all around him. I definitely do not detest Americans in general.
   I likewise detest the expansionism of Israel, and the mindset of some of the leadership there. I abhor the "chosen people" concept as much in respect to the Jewish people as I did when the Nazis had exactly the same cry for the "master race". But I "hate " neither the Jewish people or the German people. I have a very dear American Partner, and a fair few Jewish friends, not least the family who were given shelter in our home in 1940.
So please do not confuse dislike of a policy with dislike for people. "Anti-Israel" is NOT "anti-semite." I suspect that the two are deliberately lumped together by those who wish to have a tool for the denigration of someone elses opinions.
