I do take issue with the following sentence from the aticle, however.
"...and a point of comparison (i.e. comparing Jews with Nazis). Those who make these claims, often with references to apartheid and ethnic cleansing, do not seek to criticise Israel but to demonise it as a fascist regime in order to justify its destruction."
Any nation that uses methods used by Nazis and other totalitarian regimes risks the comparison. I refer of course to group reprisals such as bulldozing the home of the family of those suspected of terrorist acts and the ghetto wall being constructed. To me, these are reminiscent of the Nazi era, but I do not seek the demonisation or destruction of Israel. I do seek justice for all peoples, without exception, and if I am judged to be anti-semitic or anti-zionist, then I suspect that those making the accusation have forgotten their history.
