Like every country Israel has done some very bad things and I think the
American relationship to Israel is far too cozy, but if you mean taking a
anti Israel stance in relation to the Arab Jewish conflict then no, I don't
agree we should be anti Israeli. I might add that when Chomsky criticizes
Israel in one breath and denies the Holocaust in another he looses any
respect I may have had for the man, yet the gullible still buy his books and
sit at his feet while this moral imbecile lectures them on ethics.

Something no Islamic state would ever dream of doing of course.
