I could care less that the Israel is a jewish state. I only
care that it behave itself reasonably and that we not have so
many and deep problematic ties to it. So why go on as if it is
simply jew-baiting when I and others say there is something
wrong with the current situation? Does the very fact that they
are Jewish make it impossible to criticise them in any way
without thereby being automatically anti-Jewish in your mind?
