    Interesting article. When criticism of Israel gets past the usual Zionist censors - the Zionists quickly go back to the usual Holocaust/anti-semitism angle to provide Israel cover.

    The message is: don't listen to any "legitimate sounding" criticism you hear of Israel, because it's likely just coming from anti-semites - and God knows they're everywhere, and then they list a few isolated incidents to try and make their case.

    I bet ANY group in the world (of every religion, nationality, etc.) could pull together a list of bigoted stuff against their group that happened somewhere in the world over a given week to make a similar case.
