"We are entitled to know that it was not written by a neutral, objective observer. "
So anyone from Palestine, no matter who they are, are incapable of being "neutral or objective" - do I have that right.
You decline to comment on the co-author - is that because she is Israeli and therefore "neutral or objective"?
Bit racist, doncha think?
I pointed out the fact that the article by 'The Campaign Against Antisemitism' was questionable not because its authors were Jews, but because the organisation was actually set up to defend Israeli atrocities and war crimes - not the Jewish people but the behaviour of the Israeli Regime - who contributes to its upkeep.

These definitions are still displayed on the current 'Zionism on the Web site' - the same as the old one in an expanded form
"Holding Jews collectively responsible for actions of the state of Israel.
However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as antisemitic. Antisemitic acts are criminal when they are so defined by law (for example, denial of the Holocaust or distribution of antisemitic materials in some countries). Criminal acts are antisemitic when the targets of attacks, whether they are people or property---such as buildings, schools, places of worship and cemeteries---are selected because they are, or are perceived to be, Jewish or linked to Jews. Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to Jews of opportunities or services available to others and is illegal in many countries."
