Peter Hichens has rightly pointed out that the Holocaust made it perfectly clear that Jews needed a homeland.
That doesn’t make everything the government in Israel does right it is not above reproach or criticism just as certainly as the US government is.
I am a Zionist I support the notion of the State of Israel but I don’t think that its leaders up to and including Mr. Netanyahu are above reproach.
They make bad policies just like anyone else.
Nobody’s perfect.
But that does not justify any silencing of free speech with respect to equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
