Ain't that the truth! I carry the opposite of a brief for many current Israeli goings-on: the great disappointment of my life, as I never tire of saying. But this obsession with Israel even on threads like this where it is irrelevant or at most marginal, little as its expressers might like to acknowledge the fact, is nothing but antisemitism, pure & simple. As that character in Shaw's play would have put it so succinctly: they think it isn't, but it is.
