What most people don't realize is that there are more Jews in the US than in Israel, to say nothing of the rest of the world. Oh I totally get that I mean its touchy more in the sense that if you do properly criticize Israel, a bunch of bigots will leap at the chance to be on your side, so be careful I mean, bigots are not exactly known for being pro-Palestinian. You can easily criticize the Israli government for using snipers to shoot at Palestinian citizens because they came near (but did not touch) a fence. You can easily criticize the Israli government for not allowing palesitinians living in the West Bank to visit other parts of Palestine like the Gaza Strip (or vice versa). Normally a citizen of a country is allowed to travel within their own country, but Palestinians are not treated like citizens; they are treated like prisoners. See? Not that hard, and I seriously doubt anyone anti-semitic is going to be like "Yeah! you stand up for those Palestinians!" Sure, some Palestinians are Christian, but most of them are Muslim, and Muslims aren't exactly popular among bigots right now. --- Cats land on their feet. Toast lands peanut butter side down.
