I've nothing to add at the moment simply because I don't have time to read it all right now. But I will say an older friend and I have been having this basic conversation for several years, and we are convinced Israel needs to be held to the same standard as Palestine in U.S. opinion and view, instead of being given free passes. People also need to be able to critically point out Israeli political faults without being automatically dismissed as anti-Semitic, which is insulting. (Of course, most people in this country also need to learn that "Zionism" is NOT the same as "Judaism" but I don't see that happening soon.)
