Review:

If you'd read my remarks you'd see I pointed out that many critics of Israel were also vociferous
critics of corrupt regimes elsewhere in the world - an address to the constant suggestion that
Israel's critics single it out unfairly. You nevertheless parroted this back at me.  Your remarks
are so full pro-Israeli shibboleths and unfounded assumptions about my view that I sense I'm up
against prejudice to which there's probably not much point responding. I will say that 1) I was not
arguing for the boycott, 2) my remarks, including those about South Africa, were primarily an
examination of the interpretation of opposition to Israel as antisemitic. It's not clear, but you
seem to have addressed my 'analogy' as if it was a homology. I did not say that the two situations
were identical.
