did you read what I posted ?

During the months leading up to Rabin’s murder, a growing hate campaign was orchestrated against him. Almost all the Israeli right-wing groups were competing among themselves to see who could demonize him most effectively.

In one demonstration, a photo-montage of Rabin in the uniform of an SS officer was paraded around. On the balcony overlooking this demonstration, Binyamin Netanyahu could be seen applauding wildly, while a coffin marked “Rabin” was paraded below. Religious groups staged a medieval, kabbalistic ceremony, in which Rabin was condemned to death. Senior rabbis took part in the campaign. No right-wing or religious voices were raised in warning.

you think " anti-Zionism = anti-Semitism "

I dont agree .

I despise Binyamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman and all of our Right wing racist fanatics and everything they stand for .
If they represent Zionism then I want no part of it .
Does that make me an anti-semetic ?
Its all politics shira .... Left versus Right , right versus wrong .
Screaming " anti-Semitism " at anyone who opposes the occupation and the policies and politics of Binyamin Netanyahu and Avigdor Lieberman IMHO is downright desperation .
