State Dept: Criticism of Israel = Anti-Semitism
(
http://www.state.gov/documents/organization/102301.pdf )
===========================
Claiming that people who criticize Israel only do so because they hate Jews is like saying that people who criticize the Nazis only do so because they hate Germans.
In other words, they don't want any criticism, because they are a "perfect" state like the USA.
Good lookin' out, Cqo . . . as a new member, you can't know this, but Buttercup there is a virulent hater of Jews . . . he's just attempting to polish his image . . . such as it is . . .
The link didn't work for me? Regardless, if the State Department equates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism then algebraically speaking, being pro-Israel must equate to being philo-Semitic. It sounds correct, since the U.S. is pro-Israel and treats the American Jews very well.
What a nice thread.
