Not all who oppose Israel’s policies are anti-Semitic

To the Editor, 

I beg to differ with Josh May’s remarkable contention that “It is not possible to differentiate between a hatred of Israel and hatred of Jews.” 

That is the same sort of specious reasoning used by John Ashcroft; i.e., any criticism of the present administration is tantamount to hatred of the U.S. and its citizens. Hence, that administration is entitled to flout both international and Constitutional law as its leaders serve a higher law to which they are privy. 

Both Israel and the U.S. under their present administrations have become rogue states on the world stage. Ariel Sharon, however, was actually elected.
