How can I express my displeasure with the Israeli government without being accused of being anti-Semetic?
People all around me, and as I learned todayby reading through questions, people here on fluther have been engaged in a heated ans sometimes acrimonious debate about the flotilla raid and the general state of Israeli/Palestinian relations. I have listened to arguments on both sides, but I notice as soon a someone disagrees with the position of the Israeli government that person is accused of being anti-Semetic.
Sure, I have heard some truly heinous things said about Israel and Jews in general, but not every critique has been based o ignorance, hate and stereotypes.
I have been afraid to state my opinion or participate in these discussions for fear of being called and anti-Semite. I am not concerned with religion (I have none) nor am I concerned with how the mess started. I am concerned with governments putting politics before people and what I see as the beginning of an apartheid government.
Ho do I express my opinion without being labeled an anti-Semite. Or if I am, explain how. I have no hate in my heart for any group.
