::: Those two cites (the 3rd did not resolve as a page) are both opinion pieces, not anything that defines terms in anything but the author's mind. To criticize a political entity for their actions is not the same as attacking the primary religious/racial group that makes up that nation. Can criticizing Israil be part of an anti-semetic attack? Of course, but that does not equate to all attacks on Israel being motivated by anti-semitism. I was appalled by the Israeli secret police killing an innocent Norwegian, in an attempt at exacting retribution for Munich. That doesn't make me anti-jewish and more than my disgust at the actions of islamic terrorists makes me anti-muslim. To claim otherwise is simply to attempt to deflect any sort of criticism of Israel, the same way that people used racism as an excuse for defending OJ.
