Charles Krauthammer on the ASA boycott of Israel says what I’ve been blogging about for over a decade:
And don’t tell me this is merely about Zionism. The ruse is transparent. Israel is the world’s only Jewish state. To apply to the state of the Jews a double standard that you apply to none other, to judge one people in a way you judge no other, to single out that one people for condemnation and isolation — is to engage in a gross act of discrimination.
And discrimination against Jews has a name. It’s called anti-Semitism.
Read the whole thing.
It is certainly possible to criticize Israel without being anti-Semitic.
But it doesn’t happen very often.
