If he said that about Jews, then that is wrong and hard to forgive. There is a big distinction between Israel and Jews (although the Isreali government would love to combine the two and accuse anyone accusing it of war crimes as "anti-semitic"). Most people criticising Israel for killing children and other atrocities know this distinction. On the other hand, the anger felt by many watching Israel`s pre-election war games amid a trapped population is widespread. The real problem for Israel is not some heated words by a tactless individual but how the world see it now. |
