Proves my point, doesn't it.Not in the least. You made a specific accusation: anti-semitism. GF only posted stuff critical of Israel (that I saw). There is a difference.

I agree with you, of course there is a difference between criticizing Israel and being an anti-semite. Theoretically.
My experience has been that the majority of people I've had this debate with have ended up spitting out some pretty harsh jew-bashing rhetoric, real ugly stuff, and it was not simply criticism of Israel--that may have been where the debate began, but 9 times out of 10 the debate degenerates into things like "Israeli secret intelligence pulled off 9/11", "Israelies shot down TWA 800", "Israel was behind the first twin towers bombing," then they forget to say Israelis and say things like "the Jews bombed the US Embassies in Africa", "the Jews brought AIDS onto the North American continent", and the final conversation stopper "The Jews killed Jesus". And its funny, I hear one that from Muslims I've debated more than any other group--as if all of a sudden they revere the Savior. That has been my experience. I'm not saying all critics of Israel are like those I have had these unpleasant debates with--I just haven't had the good fortune to meet very many critics of Israel who weren't also Jew haters (some are even Jewish--self hating obviously).
My last point, Eric, is about GF. If all GF did was post stuff critical of Israel, as you claim, than why is he gone from FR?
