Thanks !
Why we have to stick to a taboo that Israel and it's crimes can't be discussed ?? Why anyone who raises these isues has to be labelled as Anti-Semitic ???
Israel is no special like any country you can criticize it for its wrong doing but when you concentrate only on Israel and don't pay attention to other sides of the conflict its may raise some questions

For example, Yehuda Bauer has argued: "If you advocate the abolition of Israel...that means in fact that you're against the people who live there. If you are, for example, against the existence of Malaysia, you are anti-Malay. If you are against the existence of Israel, you are anti-Jewish." [7]

Another position is that criticism of Israel or Zionism is not in itself anti-Semitic, but that anti-Zionism can be used to hide anti-Semitism: Thomas Friedman for example writes, "Criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitic, and saying so is vile. But singling out Israel for opprobrium and international sanction - out of proportion to any other party in the Middle East - is anti-Semitic, and not saying so is dishonest

Why can't we grab Ariel Sharon and send to The Hague for the genocide he masterminded in Sabra and Shatila and in Zenin ???
You read too much palestinian propaganda open you mind to other points of view.
