And this is absolutely unacceptable antisemitism. In fact, this is not the new antisemtism or better, in Tanguieff's terms judéophobie, but old standard antisemitism


And isnt this the usual response to critiscims of Israel?  You cant say that its anti-semetic-no it isnt. Apart from the missleading nature of this term (as the palestinians are thenselves a semetic people), this is often used as a cynical device to protect Israel from critscism
