Karl,

If anything illustrates the inability of some to tell the difference between antisemitism (exhibited throughout the article) and "criticism of Israel" this is it.

It seems that they are intent on digging themselves into a deeper hole. Tikkun should apologise profusely to Karl Pfeifer and do it with some grace.

When it first appeared a couple months ago, I posted a comment on Tikkun that even electronic intifada knows better than to publish the ravings of this antisemite. Tikkun sets a pretty low bar when its standards are below those of ei. Particularly embarrassing is that it took months for Tikkun to take this down.
