I do follow her advice, and said nothing ill of you personally out of respect for civil discourse--which demanded great restraint from this writer of Jewish ancestry. But when an article discusses the Jewish ancestry of some of Hawai‘i's pols, and you launch yet another invective against the Israeli state, you cross the line from legitimate critique of a nation's policy to bigotry. If this were a story about Hawai‘i politicians of, say, Chinese extraction, I hope you would not use it as an opportunity to use it as a soapbox for your personal views on China's human rights abuses. Why? Because those people have nothing to do with China's human rights abuses. If, however, the story were to detail those politicians' views about China, then it would be fair game to call them out. In this case, what you've done is classic misdirection used by those who critique Zionism while claiming not to be anti-Semitic.
