Very similar to the frenzy around Bush Jr’s Iraq war as well.

I can't wait for someone to call the writers and editors of Jewish Currents anti-semites.

They’ll be not real Jews. Because all Jews think the same, you see. And it’s anti-semitic to deny that, or something.

Remember, if the discussion isn’t going your way, you can simply engage in a continuous campaign of intimidation, smears and targeted disinformation to get your way. This will help you avoid the uncomfortable business of thinking critically about who or what you support. If you make critical voices afraid to speak, you can wash away the accusations of crimes against humanity. The blood doesn’t wash off so easily, though.
