Marie and the Ghosts
Hysteria Posted by Aron on July 25 2004 (Sunday) : 12:27 AM

Uri Avnery uses his sane wit to analyze the "anti-semitism" hysteria that Jewish supporters of Israel are fomenting.

"Our government is pouring petrol on the flames by instructing its representatives around the world to stigmatize all criticism of its actions as anti-Semitism. This way it sticks the label of anti-Semitism on the entire world, from the UN General Assembly and the International Court of Justice to humanitarian organizations. It is easy to create this confusion when one does not differentiate between 'Jewish' and 'Israeli'. Everything becomes mixed up: anti-Semitism, anti-Zionism, criticism of Israel, criticism of Sharon. Such a mix-up is convenient for those interested in manipulations, but it not good for the Jews. 'Jew' and 'Israeli' are not the same."
