Letter: Criticism of Israel not anti-Semitism

Re: “Translink ads spark controversy,” Sept. 6.

The editorial reaction to our “Disappearing Palestine” ads has been absolutely viral. Why must they be understood as aiming at the destruction of the state of Israel?

Why can’t we be pointing out certain extremely unpalatable aspects of Israeli policy over the last 65 years?

The hysterical reaction (“You’re really trying to destroy us”) to legitimate criticism of a nation state as well as the character assassination of one of our coalition members is
pathological.
