`This "we are not anti-Semite, we are only anti-Zionism" nonsense, is what it is, nonsense. Zionism is symply euphemism for anti-Semitism!`

You`ll probably find what I am about to say offensive, but bear in mind that inasmuch as I am indeed frankly opposed to Zionism, you have just labelled me an anti-semite. You are no longer in a position to complain about bruised feelings.

So let me ask: if to oppose Israel is to hate Jews, would it have been a display of bigotry against Germans to have opposed Hitler`s regime? Would opposition to Imperial Japan necessarily have been racism aimed at Japanese? How about Iraq? Should Saddam Hussein have been allowed to run amok indefinitely on the grounds that to oppose him would have be equivalent to displaying hatred for Arabs?

This `anyone who opposes Israel only does so because he is an anti-semite` is just a mantra to keep from looking at the state you have created and what it does.
