A couple of days ago I argued that, the vast majority of the time, anti-Zionism equals antisemitism. For any who still doubt my assertion, here's support for my views from a credible source: an Egyptian cleric (thanks to Jihad Watch and MEMRI).
No, Muhammed Hussein Ya'qoub argues, it would not be sufficient for Israel to give Palestinians a state; it is the very existence of the Jews that is the problem. He then quotes a series of Koranic verses (Robert Spencer adds the specific citations in case you want to check them out) to make his case. They are not enemies for occupying land; they are enemies because Allah has called them infidels.
What do you think - will our new special envoy to the region, George Mitchell, understand this? Or will he assume, as have all his predecessors, that the struggle is over territory?
