Ahhhh....easy there, Michael!!!! I was condemning that particular Spotlight article about comparing opposition to Zionism with anti-Semetism; I was not condemning your personal positions.
Of course, it goes without saying that there are some pro-Zionists who do happen to oppose the present Israeli government's sadistic policy, and there are some defenders of the Palestinian cause with some real reactionary motives and causes. And no one despises fundamentalist Islam (or fundamentalism of any other religion) other than I do. I'm simply tired of some Zionists -- whether they be liberal, conservative, or otherwise -- always attempting to justify the current Israeli policies by quoting the sufferings of the Holocaust, or bringing out the anti-Semetic card anytime they are being called out.
Sorry for the misread.
Anthony
