Reply #26: Origin of that meme [View All]

Which, since the neocons promote the Likudnik goals for the ME, is part and parcel of the "Criticism of Israel = Anti-Semitism" meme IMO:

Halper: Yes. Anti-Semitism feeds on the idea that Israel is a victim. The Foreign Ministry of Israel invented a new form of anti-Semitism in the last few years called the 'New anti-Semitism,' and they then found some professors willing to give it some academic credibility. The New anti-Semitism that is now being spread all over says that any criticism of Israel is anti-Semitism, period. And it has been very effective.
