The problem with this argument is that a person can no longer legitimately criticize Israel without being called Anti-Semitic or a Neo-Nazi. At the same time, the actions of a few Islamic terrorists have shifted public opinion to the point that people tend to look down on all Arabic countries and people. On the other hand, there are some in our country who believe in a Jewish Conspiracy and hate anyone who is Jewish or associated with Israel.
What needs to happen is that people need to stop blindly supporting one side or the other and call for the election of two moderate leaders who will work together to bring peace to a region that is so important to so many religions and cultural groups. Extremists on both sides should be denounced worldwide.
