    There's no anti-Israeli sentiment here. Rather an opposition to the actions carried out by the IDF and Israeli Govt against the Palestinian people and the enforcement of what's basically an apartheid system.

    You really have to get past that idea that if one opposes a system of oppression one is not automatically against the people. Let me give you an example, I'm against the Zimbabwean govt and various Zanu PF machinations. So is my activist friend (she's a black Zimbabwean). In your book, we'd be both anti-Zimbabwean. See?

    Hell I absolutely despise the Irish government with a fiery passion words can't describe, and I'm Irish myself...
