"Similarly, it is acceptable to argue that Israel's offensive in Gaza was wrong -- but it would be anti-Semitic to criticize Israel on the grounds that Jews are dirty, greedy or sinister.
The Foxmans and Dershowitzes say that comparing Israelis to Nazis is, in the final analysis, anti-Semitic because it is so demonstrably untrue and so patently disingenuous. Even Israel's fiercest critics, they argue, ought to concede that the country's actions have been taken in its own defense -- even if one believes that defense was misguided or disproportionately violent or even criminal. Further, they say that the number of Palestinian deaths during the 60-year conflict can't begin to compare to the 6 million Jews who died in the Holocaust. To suggest a moral equivalency is anti-Semitic because it's so absurd."

"Robinson's bottom line is this: Whether you accept the analogy or find
it "absurd," the real principle at stake is that of open debate and
academic freedom. A professor engaging in a controversial conversation
with his students may not be shut down by the defenders of a particular
ideology. Deeply held beliefs are there to be challenged; that's how
critical thinking is developed.


You be the judge."

Interesting how Israel's recent vicious attack on a walled-in civilian population translates to:

"Palestinian's caught up in Israel's recent Gaza Strip offensive"!

Makes it sounds like the people of Gaza simply endured some uninvited guests for tea instead of death and destruction wrought by white phosphorous bombs courtesy of the Israeli government.

That is like saying "goldfish caught in a barrel in the middle of a shooting" when somebody is shooting down at the barrel!

Israel is doing the same thing that was done to them during the holocaust, they are trying to exterminate another race of people. What they are doing is wrong.
