Though this description seems quite off-base, "get over it" is good advice. Instead of "crying" or retreating, we should _fight back_. It should be made clear that Israel represents one of the worst kinds of ethnic nationalist regimes currently on earth -- and that US taxpayers help pay for it. Part of fighting back is making our principles clear: ethnic nationalist occupations of others' lands and the imposition of an updated version of apartheid on them is bad. One problem that anti-Zionists have is that the pro-Zionists often are totally obsessed with the topic and thus have rafts & rafts of facts & "facts" to back up their case. The anti-Zionists, on the other hand, are usually interested in a large number of topics and cannot marshal as much evidence (and should avoid fake evidence). Praise be unto Chomsky! Juan Cole does a damned good job, too. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti." (Go your own way and let people talk.) -- Karl, paraphrasing Dante.
