#1 With all due respect to the poster of this article, these near daily postings of The rise of Anti-Semitism type articles on RB are becoming quite tedious. In one respect I can see a vague relevance regarding culture, general foreign policies as it relates to Israel and in particular Mid East terrorism. However the articles of late have the decidedly narrow tone that anyone who criticizes Israeli policies is in reality a covert Jew Hater. Which is an assertion that I reject. Ironically this article makes blanket accusations backed up by innuendo and out of context statements. The very same thing they profess to loath. IMO, these hollow arguments are in fact detrimental to their stated cause not unlike the vacant Racism-Lite charges that are constantly being advanced.

#2 Ok, criticism acknowledged, though this one was more posted because it related to a french website I find interesting (=shameless plug), rather than the whole "rise of the antisemitism" thing.

#3 I think these articles are very relevant! Anti-semitism is like the canary in the coal mine. The fact that Europe is acting like it did in 38 and our new Hitler is getting ready to have them wear arm patches is a good measure of how much water a sinking ship has taken on.

However the articles of late have the decidedly narrow tone that anyone who criticizes Israeli policies is in reality a covert Jew Hater.

That's not true of serious criticism of Israeli policy, but is true of the bogus blame Israel antisemitism on the left.

The fact that you are ignoring the log in the eye of France and focusing on the speck in the eye of Israel makes a statement.

Hey2b, if you want to read some bias by omission in my commentshave at it. I just happen to believe the following statement from the above article is nothing less the absurd.

In this case, the Jews will be not be welcome in France anymore, except if they spit on Israel and America.

#6 well if you had said so in the first place... but instead you said this, "However the articles of late have the decidedly narrow tone that anyone who criticizes Israeli policies is in reality a covert Jew Hater."

when in fact you and I both know pefectly well that in America, anti-semitism always sounds just like this, "lots of my friends are Jewish - it's the zionist Isralies occupiers who are responsible for 911 and every other evil in this world."
