Perhaps I should have thrown the anti-Semitism out there as quickly as I did. One has to note the outright bias evident in the letters featured.
The authors of the said letters point the fingers claiming that the current round of hostilities were due to Israeli actions.
I am sure that I don’t need to point out to you that it was the Palestinians that broke the most recent cease fire while Israel has shown a tremendous amount of restraint in waiting so long to strike at Hamas. It angered me to see these people condemning Israel for defending itself.

All I see is criticism of the policies of the state of Israel. Last I checked, the Jewish faith and the Jewish People were not the same thing as the state of Israel.

Or is any criticism of the state of Israel considered proof of anti-Semitism? If so, then it makes it impossible to discuss Israeli policies without descending into a finger-pointing rage match that ends with someone breaking Godwin’s Law.
