[lbo-talk] The Banality of anti-Israel Lobby Doctrine

[Joseph Catron]

Carrol, that's silly. There is no possible way to effectively oppose Zionism
without being accused of anti-Semitism. Neither you, nor I, nor the entire
LBO-Talk brain trust collectively, are clever enough to do such a thing,
because it simply cannot be done.

The proper way to address these cheap, cowardly tactics is with the
momentary scorn and contempt they deserve. Not by formulating our analysis
and strategy around a misguided attempt to discourage them, a thing as
impossible as it is irrelevant.
