Fear of Being Labeled Anti-Semitic

There has been so many instances in near history when a brave soul wants to embark on the right path and speak of Israel's atrocities and to criticize its politics. But what does that person get as a response, you should all know this. A big "Anti-Semitic" label on the forehead, and from then on it is a smear campaign to destroy the reputation of that person until he is nothing but dust.

Ever since the Holocaust, the International Jewish community has been paranoid, and careful to target anyone that has the slightest criticism, not even towards Judaism, but towards the Jewish State of Israel. Isn't Israel a normal country, like all of the others in the world, that are in position to make mistakes and be criticized, yet that cannot be done without having a huge "ANTI-SEMITIC" label on your forehead in bold red font.

Why does the Jewish state have rights that the other countries of the world not, for being immune to criticism, especially in the United States? There are many instances where the Jewish community, including all of the powerful lobbies and organizations including AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee)revolt at one small criticism, uttered out of the mouth of a courageous politician, or journalist. Immediately this person has to issue a public apology with words "sucking up" (I can't word it any better) to the Jewish state, and a promise never to criticize it again. But this criticism is certainly not a religious remark or has any air of religion in it. It has everything to do with government and policies, be it the policies concerning peace with the Palestinians or that concerning the neighboring Arab states.

Does that not diminish in the United States right of Freedom of Speech? Is it perfectly fine to find whole novels and newspaper articles degrading the religion of Islam, and barely any criticizing or questioning Israel's right to exist? This is not what the United States is about and I suggest to anyone that has any remarks and criticisms for the Israeli state, that they not fear the "Anti Semitic" bullet, because this bullet is ineffective to the extent these people are using it. Voice out your opinions (of course respecting Judaism) and don't be afraid of a terrorist state or its supporters.
