Amotz Asa-El Call All Out on the Carpet

In an extremely sobering article, Asa-El makes a point of detailing the seriousness of Iran's nuclear threats to Israel and the hypocrisy Israel faces on a consistent basis. When he calls out "How many of Israel's highbrow critics are prepared to scold Iran with the kind of vitriol, admonition and moralism to which they so habitually resort when it comes to Israel?" You do have to admit he has a serious point. When he asks "What is Norwegian Finance Minister Kristin Halvorsen - who last year called on her countrymen to boycott Israeli products - now doing to face up to Iran?" Again you are forced to contemplate the facts. When he declares "Maybe it's all for the best that such ostensible anti-Zionists now get exposed for what they really are: anti-Semites." You know he is right, but it does not make the situation any better.

It's a shame that most to this day cannot define anti-semitism for exactly what it is.
