Oh, really, Deda. Being pro-Palestinian is not the same as being anti-Semitic (By 'anti-Semitic,' I'm guessing you mean anti-Judaic). I happen to consider myself pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel, but also pro-Jewish. You CAN oppose the illegal occupation of Palestine without wishing harm on the civilian Jewish occupants.

And John: I guess we won't agree, then. I'm not ignorant of the history of the term, though. I just think that some words need to be revised when they don't make a damned bit of sense. :)
