"Racist anti-Semite propaganda."
Excusing the behaviour of the Israelis by hiding behind the accusation of anti-Semitism is shameful.
Whenever criticism of Israel is raised it is met with "Anti Semitism" yet many of my Jewish friends have been the stongest critics of what they have described as 'Zionist Fascism'.
Up to around ten years ago we were protesting the existance of a wall dividing the two Germanys, yet the Israelis have built exactly the same wall for the same purpose.
They have illegally annexed Palestinian land and evicted the legitimate occupants.
They have systematically bombed civilians using chemical weapons; this bombing has included hospitals and schools.
They have illegally blockaded a country, preventing essential supplies from being landed there - including building material to re-build the same hospitals and schools razed to the ground by their bombs.
Comparisons with the Nazis and present day Israel are inescapable, and it is unforgivable that countries like the UK and the USA have continued to either support or ignore what is happening is proof of the old saying "Politics and money speak louder than humanity in todays world".
The very least that should happen is a total cessation of trade with Israel and a boycott of their goods similar to that against fascist South Africa.
