It always seems to me that Israel and apologists for Israeli policies have gotten a little confused.
How did being of " the left " come to correlate with racism and anti semitism in particular ? Isn't this at complete variance with the historical and present reality ? Hasn't racism always been a right wing desease ?
Wasn't it the left that offered the only resistance to the rise of fascism in the 1930's ? Where were the right ? You guessed it, sympathising and empathising with it.
The internationals campaigning on behalf of the Palestinians are from a very long proud tradition. The international observation of, and sometimes participation in, the resistance, is the only semblance of protection the people have against the brutality of the occupation.
