Suicide bombings aren't just a disagreeable tactic of resistance to the
occupation of Gaza and the West Bank.  They are not the tactic of someone
seeking a two state or binational single state solution.  They're a
violent rejection of Jews having any business living anywhere in what was
once Palestine.  They are also acts of collective punishment.  Hence the
equation of supporting suicide bombers with anti-semitism.
