Shambles, you have set up a false premise. What you are really doing is trolling for a response that you can then use to advance your pathologic need for validation as a martyr. I say this because your stated intention (which is one worthy of discussion, IMO), is not reflected in the article you present as the basis for the discussion. When the reaction comes, you will use it to advance the same old bullshit ideas you have been trying to advance.

Just thought I would let you know how transparent you are.

There is some reason to believe, based on the posts so far, that we might get a legitimate discussion here, in spite of the fella behind the screen, so let's see where it heads.

I agree with with contention that antisemitism is used in a much narrower context than what it means. To my way of interpretation, it is not possible for Palestinians, and other Arabs, to be antisemites. They themselves are Semitic. What they are is opposed to the Israelis to the point of obsession. I believe the same can be said of the Israeli attitude towards the Arab States. It seems to me that when the circumstance occurs that both sides in a conflict make legitimate claims that cannot be refuted by a reasonable person, then outside interests must step into the negotiations.
