My point exactly. Joni's statement was not specific to any particular
statement by the Palestinian on the show....and did what so many people
do....call anti Israeli policy folks anti Semites. The Israeli
Palestinian issue has never been openly or even handedly
discussed....but the emotional blackmail tool is the use of "anti
Semite" if anyone gives any Palestinian the opportunity to express
his/her views.
If Joni will post the views that show Garofolo to be Anti Jewish (Arabs
are Semites, too)....I'd be happy to hear them....
Frankly, I've found Garofolo to be more informed about the Middle East
than anyone other than Mike Malloy on AAR.
