– you can make the numbers say anything you want….. can the first “hate crime” trial for criticizing Israeli policy be far behind?

“Anti-Semitism has proven to be an adaptive phenomenon,” the report said. “New forms of anti-Semitism have evolved. They often incorporate elements of traditional anti-Semitism. However, the distinguishing feature of the new anti-Semitism is criticism of Zionism or Israeli policy that – whether intentionally or unintentionally – has the effect of promoting prejudice against all Jews by demonizing Israel and Israelis and attributing Israel’s perceived faults to its Jewish character.”

Now that criticism of Israeli government policy is anti-Semitic both north and south of the border I have to wonder when the first hate crime trials will fire up based on the new order.

– after all, with that sort of wide sweeping definition how can anti-Semitism do anything but increase?

Tune in next week when The Decider expands the definition of traitor to include criticism of American foreign policy, and Harper rewrites the definitions of transparent and accountable to include anything his government does.
