  I don't understand the connection being made between being critical of this latest tactic by Israelis and being an anti-Semite. The morality of this bellicose action taken by the Israelis should be questioned as we should all value human life, whether it's a Jewish or Arab (Muslim) life; the acts of terrorism by Hamas extremists should also be condemned.

  You don't have to understand, that is the point. The Keyboard Warriors and Laptop Bombardiers of the Israel-First Propaganda Troll Army are not interested in morality or debating the actual articles, all they are interested in is getting you to play The Game, which you are dangerously close to joining. Don't do it! The Zionists want to conflate as much as possible, and they want to make the discussion as intellectually dishonest as possible. That includes the use of half-truths to get you to respond, and then, instead of arguing about the actual issues, they waste your time arguing about how to frame the issues. At the end they will parse your words to find a motive, which will inevitably lead them to calling you a "Jew Hater", (that is, if they are clever and don't try and premise their entire argument on you being antisemitic) while they ride triumphantly into the sunset, their mission complete. Don't fall for it.

  You'll get half-truth, mealy-mouthed responses to "counter" your claims, in the hope that you'll engage the half truths and not the actual issues.
