Many Questions, Many Viewpoints
By J. Speer-Williams

Are Israeli policies toward Palestine making anti-Zionists, as well as anti-Semitics?
 
My dictionary defines an anti-Semite as a person who is hostile toward or prejudiced against Jews.
 
I define an anti-Zionist as a person who is hostile toward Israeli policies that are not in the best interests of the anti-Zionist's own country, nor in the best interests of the Palestinian people.
 
(In point of fact, an 'anti-Semite' should be formally defined as a person who opposes all genetically Semitic peoples...Jew, Christian, Muslim, Palestinian, Israeli, atheist, etc. -ed)
 
Is it wise to collapse these two separate and distinct oppositions? Is one really the same as the other? Does it serve any positive purpose to make one the other?
 
Does the labeling of an anti-Zionist as an anti-Semite actually create anti-Semitism?
 
Are these questions anti-Semitic by their very nature?
 
Life presents many questions, and elicits many more viewpoints.
 
Secular Jews seem more worried about anti-Semitism than religious Jews. Religious Jews say part of being Jewish is not fighting anti-Semitism, but rather practicing Judaism. How can that be?
 
Are secular Jews more pro-Zionist than religious Jews?
 
Would it not be smart for American Jews, who most live as well as anyone on Earth, to pull their dogs out of the free-for-all between Zionists, anti-Zionists, and anti-Semitics?
 
Does anti-Semitism, or the promotion of such labeling work to the favor of secular Jews, at least in their minds?
 
Could many Western Jews actually be causing anti-Semitism by calling anti-Zionist anti-Semitics?
 
Are Pictures and videos of Palestinian children throwing rocks toward Israeli bulldozers and tanks creating anti-Zionists and anti-Semitics alike? Or have such scenes been photo-shopped by crazed anti-Zionists and rabid anti-Semitics?
 
Many questions, many more viewpoints...
