The fact that Israel receives US aid does not give anyone the right to parade their Jewhating around under the guise of "anti-Zionism" or whatever euphemism the Jewhater cares to use. The right to criticize any country is a given, but 95% of the criticism the "world community" hurls at Israel is based on anti-semitism, and there is a double-standard employed by and buckets of hypocrisy among, Israel's "critics."

95%, eh?

On what factual basis do you come up with that number?

Just once I'd like to see you spend more of your time addressing the substance of honest criticisms and questions rather than seeking to shut down all debate with your bogus and strictly dramatic smears and subjective personal opinions.

I recognize there are people in the world that hate Jews, particularly in the Middle East, and possibly that percentage can be applied to criticism coming from that quarter. But it seems to me that Jews expect a badmouth from that source, having heard it for centuries and consider that it goes without saying.

Criticism from other places doesn't enjoy the historical hatred traded with middle eastern venues, and much of it can be said to be sincere criticism for actions, choices, and behavior, especially from America who belies this presumed entrenched and ubiquitous "anti-semetic" character by financially supporting Israel with billions of dollars a year.

The "95%" is a little high there, don't you think, considering that the Americans who do the criticising are aware of the recipient of those billions?
