But I will point out that labelling as "anti-semitic" (which I, and the Catholic Church as well, define to be the hatred of a race) a magazine that doesn't play footsie with the Israeli government is out of line. One need not hate Jews or be a bigot to believe that the Israeli government is not necessarily as pure as what the American press portrays it to be.
Furthermore, to say that a magazine "has no place in modern society" is an attitude that bad guys everywhere like to foment. The Israeli government has plenty of support in the American media. To squelch a dissenting view is unAmerican!

Not sure if you noticed or not, but I am not American and so accusing me of being unAmerican really bothers me not at all (of course, the fact that you feel 'unAmerican' is a crowning insult is only insulting to 95% of the world's population!).
Regardless of that, if being unAmerican means not standing silently by while idiots promote anti-semitic web sites, then, yes, I am unAmerican and proud of it.
