nothing less than that. And sadly, anti-Semitism is now trendy. But we Jews will survive and prevail in spite of it.

The author makes a valid point. Unfortunately, though, there wouldn't be any media attention whatsoever regarding these "activists" if Israel hadn't made such a fuss of it. Let these people come in, go wherever they want, "discover" whatever they want and stay completely silent. The story would've been over before anyone had had the chance to say "Hasba.........

Outstanding article and there needs to be a steady stream of these insighful exposes' vectored to the global press, the academic cauldron, and we need it in our Israeli and Jewish homes. I have spoken with these people in Israel and elsewhere. Jewish or non Jews, these are not informed people seeking justice. These tend to be inadequate malcontents who guise their hatred and inadequacies in these aimless destructive causes. We, as Israli Jews tend to be just a very convenient target. That the argument is irrational makes no difference. That essentially we are undergoing a process that is being experienced in hundreds of societies around the world and has been since the beginning of time is far too much for these ones. Wether this is always covert antisemitism I am not sure. It is, however, always overt ignorance. Be very clear: Alice Walker claims to represent African Americans, anybody who has spent five minutes in America will know that her inerest is displaced in the most revealing and grotesque way.

This is a very honest, well written article. Of course the disease known as anti-Semitism is at work......and it is an extremely obsessive, nasty disease.

love for these pesky birds, so is knee-jerk, leftiests fight for the "opressed" nothing but pathological, untreated residue of youthful arrogance. Add to that latent antisemitism that's present in most cultures and you've got yourself any of these trendy "Free Willy/"palestine/screw the Jew"- outfits. That was my scientific take on this old- as- humanity phenomenon :-))

That is the clear conclusion, is anyone screaming about the atrocities all over the world, where murder even genocide is occurring? Even two days ago the UN met to discuss Israel's apartheid, no talk about Syria where children are murdered daily. The truth is so obvious, who is screaming today about Tibet? I don't hear them. What about the Turkish occupation of Cyprus? The slavery and mass murders in Sudan? None of those matter, only tiny Israel treating the terrorists that wish to kill her well.

Except in Israel, where land theft and colonialism are a growth industry. Of course activists will target the last supposed self-proclaimed democracy on the planet that still illegally occupies, and steals, other peoples land in the name of God and Colonialism.

are not rational in their behaviour but neither are cultists. The anti Israel hatred was greatly boosted by the Soviets and leftists carry their nostalgia for Soviet ideals with them. Then there is traditional Jew hatred and Jews are not exempt from that . We have had our sellout traitors since time immemorial

these people have committed countless crimes against the Jews, they know that as long as the Jews are living they will be reminded of the crimes that their ancestors have committed This is why "westerners" are so deeply anti Israel, they want the Muslims to finish what their ancestors started

This obsession is the temporal expression among true-believing Christians that the Zionists resettled land that was taken away from their ancestors by Divine Edict. Of course, this true Christian doctrine is not modern-sounding, so another line of thought is needed. But yes, the Palestinians do suffer under the Zionist yoke, so an uncorrupted Christian does have that argument, too. The main thing, however, is that the Zionist political entity is itself sinful because it flouts God's will.

Do you know what any of those words actually mean?

Yishar Koach, Shlomie, The greatest tragedy is upon us, Israel, already. Only HKBH can and will help now.

Focus on smoke and fire instead of pointing a finger at others ,...

because you know what God's will is?! I have decided you have a total schmekel brain!

their own rhetoric and clearly absurd slogans. When approached, as well as being arrogant and agressive, they just did not want to hear. First they claimed they were after Israel because it is "immune" from criticism. When their own papers not to mention the BBC,Independent,Guardian & Israeli freely self critical media,the U N & NGOs etc etc was pointed out to them,they tried to break off the conversation. As they claimed they objected to occupation,when asked what they are doing about Turkey,China, Kurdistan etc ,the answer was "You can object to that". Then they went back to shouting via megaphone to boycott Israel and calling for signatures. Their take on reality is never criticising their "proletariat", the Pals,who can do no wrong and never have. Can't help wondering what their agenda is..

More and more of such articles need to be publicized and by more media outlets. This is exactly true. The horrible part of it is that this hatred leaves real suffering and death of innocents in many other countries unnoticed, and nor protested.

Israel is not evil at all. Already there this "middle aged woman" went too far

After a decade, when the immigrant population will be more than 25% in Europe. An anti muslim revolution will erupt, and these human right gangsters must shut up their dirty mouthes.

is, that there are even worse countries than Israel. Well, that's true.

I have known Palestinians who actually seem somewhat measured and rational by contrast compared to agitators like Matthew Hopkins and Graczec who have no dog in this hunt. Their incentive is Jew hatred pure and simple. They stand transparent as a piece of cellophane draped over a swastika. When the conversation involves the survival of my family and people, I choose to ignore the input from anti Semite hobbyists..

for Kurdistan? Tibet etc?,they have never refused their own state & borders. BTW the Arabs elected their own leaders. Did you miss it?

Well ? The Pals could have had a state 64 years ago &many times since. They want Israels state.

there's an obsession allright and it's Israel's obsession with land........now I know that the Jews are the original inhabitants of ancient Israel...but things change. I also know history has been less than kind to Jews. But I can not agree with Israel's landpolicy after 1967. It's utter refusal to recognise that it's the settlements that are the main problem and it's consistent and ongoing violations of the human-rights of Palestinians....

I don't think it is hate, I think it is money. The best thing for the UK was to keep the Middle East in a constant state of turmoil with massive poverty, and a few rich people whose survival depends on them. The only thing that could ruin it is proud, independent, democratic nations that could compete with the West. This would explain the British attempts to destroy non-Arab cultured in the Middle East (Jewish, Christian, Persian, Kurds) and their support for Arab dictatorships.

They couldnt care less about palestinians, this is just against Israel... before the six day war the palestinian issue didnt even exist and nobody cared that neither Jordan nor Egypt annexed the land that was meant to be the palestinian state according to the '48 partition....

Doesn't reading your own nonsense make you laugh? You can't tell me that you actually believe all this crap. You're hilarious.

antisemites are usually so rude and emotional and thats how i spot them.

If you are dealing with ignorant, critical but normal, open-minded people, you can 'let them in & discover the realities of Israel. Unfortunately, fanatics will always see only the black, even if you show them a whole array of different colours. That's why they are called fanatics and should be stopped at any price, for they are dangerous people 'because of their ignorant, one sided hate & blindness.
