44. You've left out a third category...

Edited on Fri Dec-02-05 02:13 PM by IanDB1

Those who have legitimate grievances against some of Israel's policies, yet unknowingly parrot the talking points and language of anti-semitism without actually having anti-semitic feelings.

There are anti-semitic people out there who take the old blood-libels and stereotypes and "retrofit" them into forms that are palatable to well-intentioned people. Those people innocently repeat the talking points back, not realizing they might as well be quoting from "The Protocols."

So, there are people of good will repeating anti-semitic talking-points and rhetoric without realizing where it comes from or what it really means.
