That is a very controversial topic, and I congratulate you on your selection for this post. I also believe that it might well be your best post. That says a lot, but it very well might be your best. Congratulations.
"... On virtually every issue concerning Israel, views that are held by substantial minorities or even majorities of Israelis themselves are deemed prohibited in the U.S., ones that inevitably subject the advocate to accusations of animus towards Israel or even anti-Semitism. ..." (GG)
It is a major problem that honest debate on a foreign policy issue gets one tarred as an "anti-Semite" even though a Jewish co-worker points out all the time that the Palestinians are Semites also. So, one can be called "anti-Semite" for defending Semites.
How off kilter is that?
