Does Criticism of Israel lead to Anti Semitism?My fellow blogger
Mark Elf posted this today. I agree with the thrust of his post - namely that anti Semitism should not stop legitimate criticism of the Israeli State, or it's activities.
Nonetheless I would point out that the Palestinian issue can be used by some people as an excuse for their own anti semitism. I have encountered this in the past from a range of people, and I believe so has Mark. The self hater Gilead Atzmon most strongly gives weight to the lie that criticism of Zionism is anti semitism, to use one famous example.
