Well, I am proposing a thread in the headshop entitled: Has pro-Palestine activism been tainted by anti-Semitism? But, feel somewhat intimidated by the intellectual rigour of said forum. I have held off posting. As pro Palestine views are usually expressed by left-wingers I kind of associated it with ‘radical left’ wingers. Could always use some advice. Would'nt be the first time my thinking was wrong.

Don't be afraid of intellectual rigour. Intellectual rigour is good.

Yeah, well, ('d be more than happy to discuss the illegal and immoral occupation of the an Palestinian territories but I suspect it will be a flame war, dude.

Has pro-Palestine activism been tainted by anti-Semitism?

Well, I'm fairly sure of the answer to that, which is "no", and it's not a hard thing to understand, given that most of the radical left in the UK have been fighting discrimination and *real* anti-Semites for decades now. A few people on marches shouting "death to the Jews" just doesn't cut it as evidence of a taint, given that, y'know, anyone can attend a march, and I can tell you what sort of reception anyone trying that would get from any of the "far left" folk I know. And a "sniff" is not evidence either, because sniffs work differently depending on the nose and what it would like to smell.

But if there's some evidence of which I am unaware, rather than the smear stuff that goes around the net and is favoured by smug US right-wing dinner-party pseudo-intellectual publications and sites who love to paint all politically incorrect opposition to Israeli policy as anti-Semitic, by all means post it.
