pan: am i misunderstanding your post? are you trying to defend some imaginary right to be a racist? because you don't like muslims? seriously? are you really going there? i'd like to be wrong...

=====

on the op: there's obviously no necessary relation between opposing the current israeli apartheid system and anti-semitism. there isn't even a connection between opposing the current israeli apartheid system and opposing israel per se---the problem is the apartheid system and the settlement policy that makes it appear necessary and the surreal notion of a jewish state....but these are political choices that could be otherwise in the context of a different type of israel, one that would be more functional internally and internationally.

but the first step is to stop building the settlements. the next step is to take the existing ones down. the third is to break the back of the fascist extreme right that's based in the settlements.

there are lots of possibilities.

the only people who equate the two are people who are looking to foreclose opposition to the settlements, to the far right, to the colonial system they perpetuate.
