Subject: RE: BS: Mudcat Anti-semitism
I get worried when I see "antisemitic" trotted out every time someone criticizes Israel or the Jewish presence in the media. Both are legitimate criticisms. I don't like the culture of fear that surrounds these topics that villifies those who question it. Yes, it CAN signify a hate agenda but it is also a legitimate avenue of discussion. The refusal to discuss it on any level is what fuels the conspiracy rumors.

We see the same thing with Bush when he trots out "un-American" every time he gets criticized. It's a dangerous trap to fall for.
