The times are too fraught to permit gentle, smiling patience with what is at best muddled thinking and very possibly a sinister racism cloaked in political correctness. Let's keep our minds clear: to be anti-Zionist is to single out the Jews as being the only nation who shouldn't enjoy national self-determination. That a certain anti-Zionist claims to have nothing against individual Israelis is neither here nor there. I find the whole thing distasteful in the extreme.
