::: 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.

::::When that criticism is based upon holding Israel "to a standard of behaviour demanded of no other country while at the same time singling them out for a campaign of villification based on demonstrable falsehoods" then it is anti-semitic. And comes from "exactly the same kind of useful idiots who once supported Stalin, and waved aside all those who spoke up against the killings and the terror" [[Image:User Fox.png]] [[User:Fox|Fox]] <small>([[User talk:Fox|talk]]|[[Special:Contributions/Fox|contribs]])</small> 15:00, 4 June 2007 (EDT)
