Why Anti-Zionists Who Say They Aren’t Anti-Semitic Usually Are

[aranthus]

22. For defining racism I go with a dictionary.

From dictionary.com:

Racism:

1. a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human racial groups determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to dominate others or that a particular racial group is inferior to the others.
2. a policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such a doctrine; discrimination.
3. hatred or intolerance of another race or other races.

So are Palestinians a race? No they are not. Does Glick exhibit hostility to Palestinians based on their genetics? No she does not. Does she believe that Palestinians in general are hostile to Jews and to Jewish national existence in Israel? Yes she does. But unless you can show that she believes that all individual Palestinians believe that, then she isn't even engaging in unfair stereotyping. She's talking about Palestinians as a nation, as a set of group beliefs. And in that context her observations are pretty spot on. So she's not lying. She's not engaging in hatred based on race, and on the face of it, she is not even engaging in unfair stereotyping.
