6. Guess I'm anti-Semitic then.

If that is the definition Bibi wants to use for anyone who doesn't agree with him.

I thought I was just being a humanitarian, but I guess I was wrong.

The term 'anti-Semitic', being so overused to mean 'complaining about Israeli action' holds no meaning anymore.

How many countries is it now where Bibi would be arrested if he got off a plane there? I've lost count.
