Comments on: But it’s anti-Zionism, not anti-Semitism.

But he's too good a draftsman (if a lousy political observer) to mean it. What I object to is not just that but hefactual inaccuracy. Even if you believe the worst said Opration Cast Lead--and isn' it odd that absolutely nothing our government says is believed yet everthing Hamas, with a proven record of legerdemain, is taken as gospel, as it were?--the Israels did not conduct the operation in the manner of the German army in World War II, not close, not comparabl. But obviously facts don't get in the way of people like this. Roger Simnon has a good response: http://pajamasmedia.com/rogerlsimon/2009/03/26/oliphant-does-us-a-favor/ See, the cfry is always that pro-Israel people try to silence criticism of Israel by shouting "anti-Semitism." I personaly decry that but it's just so hard to tell when it isn't. Well, of course it’s designed to have an anti-Semitic impact and I’m sure he’ll engage in some slick language to petend it doesn’t.

But this - this is right our of <i>Der Stuermer</i>. I am thoroughly disgusted. Everything old shall be new again... including 1930's-style anti-semitism. Feh.

If this does not convince NY Jews to rise up and cancel their subscriptions to this rag, then nothing will. I would like to see Oliphant and the times try to publish a toon that depicts Mohammed in any way, shape, or form, and see the consequences. By publishing this crap, they are convinced that Jews are too civilized to do anything about it. This is absolutely #%%^^$ disgusting!
