Sorry, I shouldn't post until fully caffeinated :/ I'm saying that the immediate media/social reaction these days to someone who has a problem with Israeli government policy is that it is equivalent to anti-semitism. Which it most often is not. One can be opposed to the state without being prejudiced against the people.

Well, if you go over to the site I cited you will find a great many Orthodox Jews who are openly anti-Zionist (they see it as a secular movement) and anti-Israel, but not anti-Semitic. The site is well worth your time.

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you, I was pointing to the general tone of the article and the tweets quoted. Like Tyrdhead said above, it seems like the incident is being used as another opportunity for propaganda-rhetoric, spreading the untruth that you're either with Israel or you're against the jewish people.

Yes, it is a fun site. I enjoy it.
