@simsa02 It's not an 'immunization'

critique of Israel combined with generalizations like: They're monsters. They always do that. etc. etc. can and should be legitimately labeled as anti-semitic.

But simply looking at the current policies of Netanyahu's government and their war tactics and pointing out the moral and strategic failings of those is no more anti-semitic than criticizing GWBush's government and the invasion of Iraq was anti-American.

Automatic association of anti-semitism with criticism of Israel is itself a form of bigotry that assumes Jewish people everywhere are monolithic and indivisible from Israeli policies. That's a very dangerous way of thinking that cuts both ways
