The Israeli public relations machine knows that if the views and voices of Jews who disagree with its policies were to become public it would be impossible to maintain the lie that any criticism of Israel is by definition anti-semitic. In fact the accusation of anti-semitism has been Israel's most effective strategy in silencing dissent. And American journalists in particular have been targets of this tactic. -Journalism Professor Robert Jensen

...because there are anti-semites in the world, there are racists. And if the continued campaign of abuse against decent people, trying to shut them up by falsely accusing them of anti-semitism continues, the word anti-semitism will begin to become respectable. And that is a great danger. And then the really bad guys - and they're around - there are people who want to burn synagogues just like there are people who want to burn mosques, they'll start coming into their own... - Robert Fisk

The fact that anti-semitism is alive and well in the world today makes it all the more important to differentiate between real anti-semitism that needs to be condemned and opposed in its own right, and its misuse as a public relations strategy. Trying to scare people into silence by conflating any criticism of Israeli policies with anti-semitism in fact detracts from the very real threat that anti-semitism does pose. -Journalism Professor Robert Jensen

Gideon Levy has never once criticized the Arabs.

This guy is so radical, he makes Cindy Sheehan look moderate.

Do a google search for Palmediawatch and you can see the genocidal hatred by the Arabs.

Great analogy of a drug addict friend @1:21! Mr. Levy represents the real voice of honest, peace loving Jews and not the racist, dishonest Zionist Jews.

@Yitzhakhazak How does supporting or not supporting a particular political institution relate to one's opinions of an entire people group or ethnicity? Correct answer: it doesn't. Stop using an appeal to ethnicity and race as a proxy for your POLITICAL viewpoints.

The term "anti-semitism" has indeed been used quite often as an argument by Jews defending Israel. It is not about classical anti-semitism such as the infantile "dirty Jew" or

the Orotocole but about something much more important. It is about not recognizing the Jews as a Nation, and thus, refusing their right to a territory where they have established a State. If the world still wants to see Jews as a minority living under the protection of others, it must adapt its policy to Jewish reality.
