Distorting anti-Semitism

Occupied East Jerusalem, March 2, 2008

Zionist apologists and hasbara doctors have been trying of late to convince the European public opinion that opposition to Israels brutal treatment of the Palestinian people amounts, more or less, to a new form of anti-Semitism.

This week, the Israeli foreign ministry, in cooperation with Zionist circles in North America, announced the creation of the so-called International Coalition to Combat Anti-Semitism.

Were witnessing a new, global, virulent and even lethal anti-Semitism without parallel or precedent since World War II, said Canadian MP Irwin Colter, one of the organizer. It is not only essential to sound the alarm, but its time to act.

However, from reading in between the lines, it becomes amply clear that the real target these Zionist supremacists have in mind is not the morbid hatred of Jews for being Jews, otherwise known as anti-Semitism. It is rather the growing global awareness of and opposition to Israeli apartheid, criminality and genocidal policies being pursued in the occupied Palestinian territories.

In fact, it is not anti-Jewish racism that these liars are really seeking to fight; it is rather anti-Palestinian Israeli racism that they are trying to defend and protect. Racists, after all, are qualified to combat racism as much as pyromaniacs are qualified to fight fires.

Today, Israel, more than any other country on earth, is the number-1 generator, inducer and encourager of anti-Semitism.
