Canadian Feminists Hate Israel Too
Mon, Sep 30, 2002 at 6:44:16 pm PDT
A so-called “feminist” bookstore in Toronto is refusing to distribute free buttons calling for an end to suicide bombings in Israel, even as it sells buttons protesting the Israeli “occupation” of Palestinian territory. A spokeswoman for the Toronto Women's Bookstore declined to comment on the decision not to carry the ...

Where to Draw the Line?
Mon, Sep 30, 2002 at 2:57:43 pm PDT
Cathy Young makes some excellent points in this article about where to draw the line between criticism of Israel and anti-Semitism. ...ultimately, motives matter less than consequences. ”Traditional” anti-Semitism, too, often involved motives other than simple hostility toward Jews as Jews - including anticapitalism, since the Jews were seen as ...
