    If we want to be taken seriously when we complain about anti-Semitism, maybe we should make sure we are putting at least as much effort into straightening out our own house. If people want to put forth an analysis of how anti-Semitism plays a role in the conflict, maybe we ought to examine how big a role anti-Arabism, Islamophobia or anti-Palestinianism plays in it as well.
well said Mitchell, the cycle of violence will never end so long as hate and racism are behind the intentions of either side. How can a genuine desire for peace exist in the same space as hate? It can't.

Well, a peace does seem possible here, but it sure wouldn't be fair to the Palestinians.
