Those who are more informed about the political workings of the Israeli government would probably label you anti-zionist and anti-Likud.

Also those Israeli refuseniks you are referring to are usually labeled by pro-zionists and pro-likud as "self-hating" Jews.

Unfortunately, people either deliberately or unknowingly equate criticism of Israel and it's controversial policies with respect to it's treatment of Palestinians (terrorists to some) as an attack on the religion of Judaism itself. It's understandable that Jews would emotionalize rather than rationalize the criticism because of the holocaust legacy....

I'm particularly not a fan of the Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi and his views/support for the War in Iraq and other policies but if somebody absurdly suggested I was anti-Italian , a self hating Italian or a self hating-catholic/Italian as a result, I would have to laugh in their face.

Yes, Frank, you have "Jewish Friends", which excuses the fact that you believe the dirty joooooosss are behind every evil conspiracy your fevered mind can cook up.
With rare exception, every thread you start relates to how some JOOOO is ruining the country (or the earth) by secretly plotting to advance their zionist plans.

At least have the candor to admit you're a Jew-hater rather than hiding behind "I have Jew Friends" (real or imagined).
