I’m sorry, I’ve been trying to catch-up on the thread for the last several pages and I’ve found myself thoroughly confused by the subject matter. Is there a reason to believe that calling someone an anti-Semite actually provides meaningful analysis of that person’s arguments? Because to me it seemed like an ad-hominem intended to discredit the speaker without addressing their points.
If it’s the latter, why are we talking about this? It’s thoroughly uninteresting. I’m more interested in hearing cogent reasons why I shouldn’t believe that slow encroachment from Israel on the West Bank is wrong.

We were talking about antisemitism as a possible factor in what makes the I/P conflict more "popular" (for lack of a better word) than other conflicts of similar proportions or greater.
The thread more full of people complaining about accusations of antisemitism than people actually calling others antisemites.
