Nothing semantic about it, the differece between the two is quite large. You deliberately subtracted then rearranged pertinent portions in order to back up your bullshit charge. That's distorting the truth (also known as lying).

OK, so you start throwing around words like "asshole" adn "anti-semite"--pretty inflammatroy terms. And when you're called on them you spend four pages trying to backtrack. I am a critic of Israel's actions in Gaza. I take offence that you would even imply that I would be (and let me quote you directly) "happier if mroe [sic] Jews had been blown up."

You claim that the Globe and Mail is a left-wing paper, and yet don't reconcile that with the fact that they backed the Harper government in the election--probably the most right party this country has seen in a long time.

You make bold assertions like "Anti-zionism is Europe's get-out-of-jail-free card for the Holocaust" with no evidence. You really think Germany got a "get-out-of-jail-free" card for the Holocaust?

When challenged you start insulting people (like calling Wada a "fucking pig" or me "intellectually lazy" or a "liar") because we don't subscribe to rabid ideology.

Anyways, I've made my points as best I can. I simply don't have the same emotional attachment to the issue that you seem to, so I'll leave you to howl your Jabberwocky here.
