Once again we see the attempt here to paint all those who question Israeli policy with regards to their attacks on Lebanon as anti-Semites. This poster even raises the specter of an anti-Semitic left rising to some imagined final solution. Further the author attempts to suggest that we in the democratic left should be intimidated into silence lest we lose the next election due to loss of Jewish votes.
As a Jewish American, I find this fear mongering contemptible.
I do not support collective punishment and the bellicose foreign policy of the Likudniks and their allies in Isreal. It has brought no good to Israel or the world as a whole. The fact that the present Israeli leadership refuses all negotiation is a sign that their policies are morally bankrupt. The apologists for these policies in this country should realize that their increasing shrillness does not help their cause.
