People who call themselves anti-Zionist often complain that it is fairly impossible to criticize Israel without being called an anti-Semite. They are right of course that it should be possible to criticize Israel, like it is possible to criticize US or Dutch politics.
Although it is true that some Jewish organizations and people too rashly accuse opponents of being anti-Semites, it is also true that criticism of Israel is often related to anti-Semitism in one way or another.

Ratna's Review contains my thoughts on the Israel - Palestine conflict, the Jewish right to self determination (aka Zionism) and the Palestinian right to self determination, and especially the involvement of Europe with the conflict in the light of it's own history. I am Ratna Pelle, an academic from the Netherlands who has been active in several leftist movements for peace, environment and third world. I am neither Jewish nor Palestinian nor Israeli nor Arab.
