h.w.c.
this Salon article discusses a disturbing recent trend towards equating anti-Israel feeling with anti-Semitism. yikes. one of the sources quoted draws a distinction between "political outrage" and "bigotry", which seems self-evident and unarguable. and yet, as the article points out, for some (many?), to be Jewish is to support the Israeli regime's policies. i'm southern redneck trash, and there's nothing in my upbringing which helps me identify with that idea. maybe my Jewish friends can help me understand?
