"Anti-Zionists. But We Have Nothing Against the
Jews as Such"

Say What? Anti-Semites? Who, us anti-Zionists? Us?
We have nothing against Jews as such. We just hate
Zionism and Zionists. We think Israel does not
have a right to exist. But that does not mean we
have anything against Jews as such. Heavens to
Mergatroyd. Marx Forbid. We are humanists.
Progressives. Peace lovers.

Anti-Semitism is the hatred of Jews. Anti-Zionism
is opposition to Zionism and Israeli policies. The
two have nothing to do with one another. Venus and
Mars. Night and Day. Trust us.

Sure, we think the only country on the earth that
must be annihilated is Israel. But that does not
mean we have anything against Jews as such.

Sure, we think that the only children on earth
whose being blown up is OK if it serves a good
cause are Jewish children. But that does not mean
we have anything against Jews as such.

Sure we think that if Palestinians have legitimate
grievances this entitles them to mass murder Jews.
But that does not mean we have anything against
Jews as such.

Naturally, we think that the only people on earth
who should never be allowed to exercise the right
of self-defense are the Jews. Jews should only
resolve the aggression against them through
capitulation, never through self-defense. But that
does not mean we have anything against Jews as
such.

We only denounce racist apartheid in the one
country in the Middle East that is NOT a racist
apartheid country. But that does not mean we have
anything against Jews as such.

We refuse to acknowledge the Jews as a people, and
think they are only a religion. We do not have an
answer to how people who do NOT practice the
Jewish religion can still be regarded as Jews. But
that does not mean we have anything against Jews
as such.

We think that all peoples have the right to
self-determination, except Jews, and including
even the make-pretend Palestinian ´´people.´´ But
that does not mean we have anything against Jews
as such.

We hate it when people blame the victims, except
of course when people blame the Jews for the
jihads and terrorist campaigns against them. But
that does not mean we have anything against Jews
as such.

We think the only country in the Middle East that
is a fascist anti-democratic one is the one that
has free elections. But that does not mean we have
anything against Jews as such. ....."
