You keep telling me that Israel is a fascist racist dictatorship, but now I hear there is academic freedom in the universities and activists opposing the government. Which is it?

I think the Zionists have always been fascist towards the Palestinians but have allowed Jews a measure of free expression, as long as this was containable. Even this is being undermined, however. I think there is a trend towards increased state repression throughout the world, especially in "democracies", strangely enough. Fascisation?
As a case in point, I am one of those who believes Turkey (a country I know well) to be fascist, even though it has an elected parliament and a measure of free speech in the media. The country's political and social system shows many traces of the 1980 military coup and if you scratch the surface there is a strong whiff of Franco and Pinochet about the place. Recently the US authorities held direct talks with senior army generals rather than the elected government, an open indication of where the real power lies there.
Turkey is an ally of Israel, of course.

Being called an idiot by an apologist for Zionist criminality is an honour, o "realistic" sir/madam. I for one am deeply indebted to you. If your kind started to praise us, then we would really be worried.

"Anti Zionism=Anti Jewish Racism" this is a quote by the great American civil rights leader, Dr martin Luther King Jr. You can spin it any way you want it but anti Zionism is just a more polite way of Jew hatred, plain and simple. Hitler would be proud of you.

I can't really comment on Hitler's preferences, though I think his henchmen would have found Sabra and Chatila strangely familiar territory. Poor, poor Zionists. You get Falangists to do your killing for you and then are enraged when people put two and two together and call you fascists.
King was a very nice chap. If the Palestinians were like him, you'd have no bother. You could oppress them all you like without any risk of return fire or retaliation.
You don't seem at ease at all. A regional military superpower with X number of nuclear weapons, plus an alliance with the only world superpower, and you're still afraid enough to murder the Rachel Corries of this world!
