and a the paragraph above the one you quoted with link

According to Yemini, "the modern Anti-Zionism is a politically correct Antisemitism". He argued that the same way Jews were demonized, Israel is demonized, the same way the right of Jews to exist was denied, the right for Self-determination is denied from Israel, the same way Jews were presented as a menace to the world, Israel is presented as a menace to the world. In his comparative studies, he presents the huge gap between the myths against Israel, from one hand, and the real facts, from the other hand.

the same shrill stuff we read here every day

the purpose here is to of course discredit Joe Stork and HRW I guess the Saudi stuff was over played
and are we to conclude that because supposedly Mr Stork is antiZionist aka per Yemeni antiSemite that he is lying? Could that same standard be applied to those that regularly bash Leftists?
