[lbo-talk] RE:P MEMRI: Anti-Semitism Documentation Project

[Michael Givel]

Regardless of its ardent pro-Zionist bent, its *cited* documentation of the 
phenomena is real, widespread, and very dangerous. There is widespread 
Jewish conspiracy theories and anti-Semitism in the Muslim world. I think 
its criticism that *all* criticism of Israeli policies is also inherently 
anti-Semitic is nonsense.

However, that seems to be the real issue here on the left. Is the line 
between anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism always as clean as it seems? For 
instance in this recent thread, there was  a well justified denunciation of 
discrimination against Muslims, while this phenomena in the Muslim world was 
not mentioned. It is not like it is a secret as the anti-Holocaust exhibit 
in Iran is big news in places like the New York Times.

Ok, it's a problem, but isn't MEMRI a Zionist shop that's implicitly
justifying Israel's warmaking because of endemic antisemitism?
