As Netanyahu was speaking, Bowen noted that he had mentioned Elie Wiesel, a survivor of Nazi concentration camps, and added, “Once again Netanyahu plays the holocaust [sic] card”.

Yes, defeating them is the best thing to do.

exactly .... defeating them is just about all we can really do
reforming them is impossible in mayb 98% of the cases

Jeremy Bowen is no more antisemitic than Barack Obama is.
Bowen would likely be, and maybe even has likely been, the first to condemn any anti-obama statement as racist. If not for double standards, the left would have no standards at all.
They do have any standards they want. They’re the queens of arbitrary standards.
You don’t HAVE to be anti-Semitic to disagree with Bibi, anymore than you have to be racist to disagree with Obama on policy...oh, wait...
