CarolC, your response to my posting is quite interesting. First, while my statement may "prove" that some people who oppose the government of of Israel are not anti-Semites, that, of course was not the point.

I was not suggesting that your statement proved anything. I was suggesting that the fact that some Israelis and some Jews oppose the policies of the government of Israel does prove that not all people who do so are anti-Semites.

The logical extension to your inference is that some such people 'are' anti-Semites.

Of course some are. That's hardly a debatable issue. However, the article that was linked to in the opening post to this thread may give some people the impression that all people who oppose the government of Israel are anti-Semites, and that most certainly is not the case.

Second, I do not impute anti-Semitism to McGrath

Glad to hear it.
