This one is particularly good

Irresponsible word play: After the international furor sparked by author Jostein Gaarder's harsh criticism of Israel's policy in Lebanon, Professor Odd-Bjørn Fure was asked about how to conduct such a discussion without providing fodder for anti-Semitism.

I read it and it troubled me also. He takes the time to criticize Israel for violating international law for blowing up buildings, ambulances, and UN personnel and then criticizes Hez'ballah for hiding behind all three.

It is borderline Israel hate without calling for the country's destruction or old fashioned Jew-hating. He doesn't acknowledge his own contradicitons while hiding behind the mantle of fairness. It is a form of pacifism that is more prevalent than the outright hatred and stupidity of the man he attacks. In that way it is worse, because real sanctions could come of it.
