					<description><![CDATA[&quot;Professor Butler so despises Israel that she has unapologetically whitewashed Israel’s foes, labeling Hamas and Hezbollah “social movements that are progressive, that are on the left, that are part of a global left.”&#039;

Gotta agree with her that those terrorist outfits are of the left, are part of the global left, and are &quot;progressive&quot; as the term is now used in the USA; that is purblindly reactionary.  The Green-Red-Brown alliance is a reality.

As for a &quot;binational, majority Palestinain entity&quot; such an entity would very quickly cease to be binational, as the Jews were subjected to, at best, ethnic cleansing by the Arabs, particularly the Muslims.    Ethnic cleansing or genocide are the aims of Israel&#039;s enemies, and therefore the implicit aims of anyone supporting them.  Therefore, anti-Israel activity is presumptively Antisemitic unless shown to be otherwise, by evidence of a record good faith by the critic (including a lack of double standards for criticizing Israel&#039;s actions).  I might add that such advocacy is also criminal; it&#039;s a crime under International Law to advocate genocide.  Sure criticize Israel, I&#039;ve done it myself at times, and you&#039;d have a hard time doing more of that than the Israelis do, but if you advocate Israel&#039;s destruction or conversion into a Muslim majority state, you are supporting genocide and THAT is Antisemitsm.]]></description>
