"Ex-AIPAC official urges conservative journalists to echo charges of "anti-semitism"

"The former spokesman for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is shopping a 3,000-word trove of opposition research against bloggers critical of Israel to friendly neoconservative journalists.

I’ve obtained an email sent by Josh Block to a private listserv called The Freedom Community, in which he throws around accusations of anti-Semitism against liberal bloggers and calls on other list members to “echo” and “amplify” his assault and “use the below [research] to attack the bad guys.”

The Freedom Community list includes many neoconservative journalists, according to a person familiar with the matter. As of last night, the icon for the listserv was Margaret Thatcher"

So any critisism of Israel gets you blacklisted as an anti-Semite?

Yes. That's very close to my personal experience on this forum.

The only difference is that I haven't been blacklisted.* But I have been repeatedly subjected to systematic vile utterly false abuse and vilification from some Zionists. I personally know of 2 other people who no longer post here as a direct consequence of the abuse they've received from some of the Zionists posting here.

Here's an explicit example of these tactics being deployed here in a particularly nasty, vicious manner.

* All my posts are entirely legitimate political analysis and criticism. No one from CM, mod or otherwise, has ever found any fault with, or communicated with me about my contributions on topics around Occupied Palestine/Israel.
