Why is it some people, and it seems to be a growing number, can't even pretend to campaign for Palestinian rights without resorting to anti-semitism? Who do you think you're helping by making Holocaust comments or abusing Jews? No-one. Not a single person, including Palestinians 
What? Do you think that because someone is Jewish they can suddenly influence what Netanyahu does? Damn, even Israeli voters didn't really get a say due to the way the Israeli electoral system works. Yet, somehow, so many seem to think it's fair game to abuse them.
Call out the Israeli government, please call them out, but innocent people? How does that do anything to help anyone? For a change to happen you need the world to listen, and I guarantee you that isn't happening so long as anti-Semitism is tolerated in campaigning.
Yesterday saw, yet again, anti-semitic signs being waved at protests and Jewish people abused. This isn't helping anyone. Are you to blame for everything your government does? No, of course not. Should you be abused and told you have to apologize for it? No, of course not.
I absolutely believe in Palestinian rights. I believe we all must stand up and make our voices heard on that. I don't believe it can be done so long as people pick and choose which innocent people are acceptable to be abused or anti-semitism is ignored at best, welcomed at worst.
