I'm Jewish, but I don't live in Israel. I don't support the extinguishment of the Israeli state, but I don't believe that criticism of Israel is enough to make one an anti-Semite. There is a big difference between criticism of the way things are run over there with American tax dollars, as opposed to muttering darkly about Jews taking over the world, and what not. (For a guide to the latter, consult the nutbar editor over at *Adbusters*.)

Nader's points about U.S. foreign policy were actually very cogent. I had no quarrel with them.
