The Guardian is one of the worst offenders, along with The Independent and the BBC. Maybe they are feeling the heat. Antisemitism used to be one of the worst charges you can bring against a leftist. They have allowed their identification of Palestinians with national liberation to blind them to their own antisemitism, and they are beginning to feel uneasy about the rather meaningless distinction between antisemitism (bad) and antiZionism (good).
It remains to be seen how this will work out. But going by the history of ideological fanatics whether of the left or the right, it will probably work out for the worst.

I lived in Britain for 3 years and am just surprised that the Guardian printed something like this. They were some of the biggest promoters of the 'anti-Zionism isn't anti-Semitism' nonsense. Also, yesterday they posted an article from Julie Birchill who writes that she is leaving the Guardian because of anti-Israel bias (
