I am just a humble poster. My views carry no more weight than the views of many other informed posters here.

Don't be so modest, my dear.

If you are comfortable opining -- with all authority -- on the "insanity" (in the case of Jews) or "anti-semitism" (in the case of Gentiles) of anyone who dares criticize the State of Israel, it's possible YOU are the one giving yourself way too much credit.

It's a simple "Yes" or "No" question, Veronica.

Is there any room for criticism of the State of Israel that is not either "insane" (in the case of Jews) or "anti-semitic" (in the case of Gentiles).

In your most prescient and authoritative Opinion, of course.

Careful what you ask for - I'll explain through an anecdote:

While in college, I found myself in an argument with a feminist type. She insisted that the faults found in men (violence, general criminality, substance abuse, etc...) were immutable, whereas the faults found in women (low achievement in the sciences, musical composition, spatial awareness, etc...) were societal in cause.

Frustrated, I asked her "Is there any affliction on womanhood that can't be explained away by our patriarchal society?"

"Of course" She replied. "Women are too logical, too kind, too peaceful, too civilized..."
