Wiesenthal Center 'outraged' By Poll Calling Israel A Threat To World Peace

As the tanks roll over the refugee camps in Palestine and the apartite wall goes up, with open blatant racist policies with the mandatory wearing of special ID badges of non- “jewish” people, While "israel" "legalizes" the Murder of Palestians and Theft of more Palestinian land the destruction of Palestinian Property and isreal drains billions in blood money from US.
The organization said it was outraged at published reports that 69 percent of 7,500 Europeans surveyed called Israel the Top threat to world peace. The Simon Wiesenthal Center has called for excluding the European Union from Israel-Palestinian "peace" talks after reports of a new poll showing many Europeans consider Israel the top threat to world peace. Wiesenthal Center dean Rabbi Marvin Hier said the result "defies "logic" and is a racist flight of fantasy that only shows that anti-Semitism is deeply embedded within European society, more than any other period since the end of World War II." The survey, first reported by the Spanish newspaper El Pais, has not yet been released. Its main result was reported Friday by the International Herald-Tribune, which cited a source at the European Commission. Full results are to be released by the European Commission tomorrow. "This poll is an indication that Europeans have bought in, 'hook, line and sinker,' to the vilification and demonization campaign directed against the State of Israel and her supporters by European leaders and media," Hier said in the statement posted on the Wiesenthal Center Web site. He said that if the reports are accurate, "Israel should draw the only conclusion possible - that the European Union and its members should play no role in any future "peace" process." The Los Angeles-based Wiesenthal Center also asked supporters to sign an Internet petition to European Commission President Romano Prodi saying Europe's "blatant bias" disqualifies it from "peace" talks. Minister Natan Sharansky, responsible for the Diaspora and Jerusalem affairs, said Saturday that the poll results prove "anti-Semitism" lurks behind European political criticism on Israel. "Just like in the past when the Jew was blamed for usury for being thieves and murderous cannibals, the 'enlightened' world today uses that same claim about the Jewish state. The European Union must work to stop the demonization of Israel before Europe deteriorates back to its dark past, we are not the children of satin."

heres somthing else they wrote
Because Israel, rather than being endlessly condemned for operating numerous non-specific checkpoints would rather have established border crossings, such as exists between Canada and the U.S.? Because Israel wants to bring it’s armed forces home, rather than having soldiers patrolling (what her critics call occupying) Palestinian towns? Because Israel would prefer to stop terrorism through less violent means, such as by building a fence, rather than by continuing to see its citizen’s blood shed?
why is it that any critizism of isreal is anti semitic in some peoples views?

It's getting so it's almost an honour to to be called 'anti-semitic' by the likes of the Simon Wiesenthal Center. Seeing as they're always conjuring up images of Nazi Germany in their use of the term, and seeing as the Palestinians are genetically-speaking semite, by the actions of the Zionist state the most deserving of the term 'antisemitic' are now the Zionists,(excluding the more usual racists)
