2. What nonsense

Just look at the LBN thread from yesterday about the finding of the three Israeli kids. The hatred spouted against, oh, yes, Israel, was almost palpable. Sadly, it is among the liberals that anti Israel and anti semitism get blended. There are still who call for the Israelis Jews to go "elsewhere," or, like Helen Thomas, go go back from where they came. And this in a country where everyone, except for Native Americans is a descendant of immigrants.

I still remember the two rallies, in 2006, I think, in Miami, where a woman in Muslim garb shouted at the pro-Israeli rally to "go back to the ovens."

And in a another rally, an almost comic placard saying "Kill all the Juice."

I deplore the policies of Netanyahu, but the way so many on DU and other places use this as an excuse for anti semitism is deplorable.
