Let's draw a distinction between Israel, the Jewish Faith and Israel the Political entity. Burning a Jewish Synagogue is a protest against the Jewish Faith, not against Israel the tormentor. When people protest against Israel, they are not being Antisemitic. They are not objecting to the Jewish Faith. They are objecting to what is being done by Israel, the very powerful political state. When I first discussed this idea with a jew, about 40 years ago, I was assured for Jews there is no distinction. I think they need to start making a distinction and fast. They need to stop using their faith as an excuse and recognise that they have forfeited any sympathy they might have enjoyed for the holocaust, by their equally inhumane treatment of Palestinians.
