Try writing an article that is critical of Israeli policies and get it published in a major newspaper. I have articles forwarded to me everyday, written by notable academics, and none ever see print. I wonder what you base your statement on. Criticizing Israel in North America automatically generates accusations of anti-semitism (amazing since as an Arab, my arabic speaking family is semitic). Criticizing Israel is not tolerated in America.
For more information on the topic, I'd recommend David Hirst's, "The Gun and the Olive Branch: The Roots of Violence in the Middle East". I think many here would be quite enlightened.
