Criticizing Israel is a the fastest ticket to getting called an anti-Semite.

I wish people went back accusing people of the real evil, being racist, instead of a term which scares anyone away from making legitimate criticisms...like accusing Israel of racist policies.

Most of them that you take for granted? Biden made fairly similar mouth-noises when he went on over to Europe to bemoan that the Germans would rather plunge Europe into a depression and trigger a turn to the far-right than deficit-spend for a minute... and then Biden reassured everyone about the solidity of the US-EU relationship eternal friendship special relationship etc etc.
