>Come on, Mr. Abeles.  Equating opposition to Zionism with anti-Semitism is

Most of them aren't. Let me introduce myself. I am a 3d generation
atheist; but exactly half of my ancestors were Jewish (half of
them Sephardi). I spent 2 years in Israel. I am definitely not a
Zionist, and I only feel Jewish in the presence of an anti-Semite.
*Much of anti-Zionist rhetoric impresses me exactly that way*.

In  the  Soviet  Union,  this  is  a  standard  method  of
camouflaging  official anti-Semitism. On the other hand, the late
Saudi king (or was it the last but one ?) believed, and circulat-
ed,  the  "Protocols  of  the Elders of Zion". 

*Logically* you are right. One  can  be  an  anti-Zionist  philo-
Semite.  Some people are. Still, there is a strong correlation;
and it all depends on who is speaking. (Also, you should  distin-
guish  between  non-Zionism  and anti-Zionism. The difference
between non-X and anti-X is huge).
