[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]I tend to agree with Jeff on most of his editorial decision but I have noticed a hair trigger on any thread that is critical of Israel.  One can be critical of Israeli policies (such as settlements in the West Bank) and very supportive of jews and their right to a homeland. [/quote]

I am being accused of both having a hair trigger on any thread critical of Israel and being overly tolerant of anti-Semitism. That's a bit strange.

Yes, it is possible to be supportive of Jews, indeed even supportive of Israel, and to also be strongly critical of certain Israeli policies. It is also true that criticism of Israel often comes from posters who demonstrate obvious anti-Semitism. [/quote]

Haha....no doubt, you have a thankless job!  And yet I thank you for trying to steer down the middle of the road.  [b]But honestly, it does get tiresome when a poster makes a thoughtful comment about the treatment of Palestinians and immediately gets flames as an anti-semite. [/b] [/quote]

Just as it also gets tiresome when a poster makes a thoughtful comment about illegal immigration and is immediately flamed as a racist.  Wouldn't you say?[/quote]
