#1 I'd like to see the Alan Dershowitz piece on why anti-Zionism is really anti-Semitism replayed at least once a quarter.

The days that these a**holes start applying their same standards to all countries, THEN I might believe that their criticism of Israel isn't Jew hatred in disguise.

#3 I'll believe someone's criticism of Israel when they criticizes all the other nations that actually torture, rape and imprison people that speak out against the government. Otherwise, they are nothing more than anti-Semites.

#4 This is the same country whose main newspaper, in recent years, had a cartoon showing the infant Christ asking, while threatened by an evil Jewish/Israeli character, "Will they crucify me again?" Congratulations, Italy, on the movement of your national consensus!

#5 So here is this guy named Tariq Ramadan and he's trying to act like a normal human being. He's trying to act as if he thinks that civilized people should give a rat's ass what he says and I'm thinking to myself, "WTF is he doing in Switzerland?"

#6 "WTF is he doing in Switzerland?"

Poor Professor Ramadan is over there because the State Department denied him a visa to come over here and teach at one of the big private universities. If I recall correctly, they objected to his jihadi friends... although the State Department called them terrorists, or something like that.

The University of Notre Dame. The Lefties there were disappointed when the DHS said "ain't gonna happen".

For the best background on Tariq Ramadan (who happens to be the grandson of the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood (Egypt)) and his US visa rejections, Daniel Pipes provides the skinny.
