EXPOSURE OF THE ‘ISRAELI LOBBY’ ALSO EXPOSES MAKE-BELIEVE ANTI-SEMITISM!

Ever since the Mearsheimer and Walt paper on the ‘Israeli Lobby’ hit the streets there has been a discernable decrease in the fear of being called anti-Semite by those that criticise right-wing Israeli politics and right-wing Zionism. The initial reaction from the pro-Zionists and the Israeli-supporting neoconservatives in America was highly predictable – they, of course, called Mearsheimer and Walt ‘anti-Semites’. They did it so loudly and so often that it became clear that it was the Israeli Lobby itself that was doing the name calling. Problem is they went overboard with it. They did it to such an extent that it doesn’t mean anything anymore.

It’s got to a point now where people no longer care about being called an anti-Semite because they know that is just a bit of name calling that no longer has any relevance or meaning. People are now very much aware that those that criticise right-wing Israeli politics and right-wing Zionism are going to be labelled by those that are being criticised as anti-Semites, just as a matter of course. It has become expected. But now everyone knows that really they are not anti-Semites but just critics of right-wing Israeli politics and right-wing Zionism. The right-wing Zionists have clearly failed in their attempt to introduce criticism of right-wing Israeli politics and right-wing Zionism as the ‘New anti-Semitism’.

The real anti-Semites are those that have been around for centuries. These are the racists and white supremacists that have always been there. They are the ones that were totally discredited at the end of World War Two as the world realised that their blind hatred had resulted in the systematic deaths of millions of those that they hated. There are a few still around but, thankfully, not in any significant numbers. These people don’t hate because they dislike right-wing Israelis or right-wing Zionists. They just hate Jews because, well, just because they are Jews. The hatred that real anti-Semites have has nothing to do with politics. And the politics of anti-right-wing Israeli Zionism has absolutely nothing to do with race.

You are quite right about the expected charge of being "anti-semitic" if a criticism of Zionist policy is expressed.
Since the media, the Lobby, the government, and the financial powers of the United States is geared up to defending poor little Israel, with its tiny nuclear arsenal, from those nasty Arabs, we can likely expect a war with Iran. Well, as it is said, Israel will fight to the last American. I suspect that Australia will be also called upon to do its best (probably much worse than Gallipoli). One final note: I live near Philadelphia, and last year, 2005, there were 380 homicides. But where was Uncle Sam? Why,like the dysfunctional daddy he is, he's not at home, but busy taking care of some crazies down the road.
