Do Critics of the Israeli Government Hate Jews?
Will America ever get to the point where Americans will be able to criticize the Israeli government without being accused of being anti-Semitic? Only when enough Americans finally come to the realization that the accusation is actually just a clever political ploy designed to suppress criticism of the Israeli government.
One of the commentators whose blogs I read regularly is Glenn Greenwald. He’s a liberal who blogs at Salon.com. I have the utmost respect for Greenwald. He is one of the nation’s foremost defenders of civil liberties, privacy, and due process of law and one of the nation’s foremost critics of torture, illegal NSA spying, prisoner abuse, indefinite detention, military tribunals, Guantanamo, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other aspects of foreign policy and the war on terrorism.
Unlike so many other liberals, Greenwald did not mute his criticism of the wrongdoing once the Obama administration began embracing what the Bush administration was doing. His analyses and criticisms have been consistent and relentless, no doubt earning him the enmity of many Obama supporters.
And now… the rest of the story. …..
