Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism nor is Palestinian solidarity anti-Semitic


One of the great lies of Zionism is that anti-Zionism is anti-Semitic & they use the holocaust to generate guilt rather than understanding, propaganda in place of truth. The Palestinians & those who support them have fought an uphill battle against this rubbish. The Boycott, Divestment, & Sanctions movement has finally begun to make headway in exposing this historic lie. So it is unacceptable for anyone expressing support for the Palestinians to express malignant attitudes toward Jewish people. “Defending” the Palestinians by reference to the Illuminati theory (the most arrant anti-Semitism), or by quoting Shakespeare against the character of Jews, or using racist & stereotypical caricatures of Jews in depictions of Zionist leaders is anti-Semitism--plain & simple--& has no place in any struggle for human justice. The Jewish people are as honorable as any other. Throughout history, many have played a central & sometimes leading role in social transformation because they understood persecution. Those who think they’re supporting Palestinians by hating on Jews are kidding themselves & should take their poisonous hatred elsewhere. The Palestinian movement has no time or place for it!
