Bigotry at Daily Kos

Here is something that always goes on at Daily Kos.

Post something bad about Israel and you are not anti-semitic because opposing Israel is not the same as opposing Jews. A concept I agree with, although it is trumped out even when the comment is, in fact, anti-Semitic.

Post something bad about Palestine and you are an anti-Arab bigot.

I can sum up the rules of bigotry at Daily Kos quickly and simply.

1) Those who oppose Israel get to define anti-Semitism, and virtually nothing is anti-Semitism.
2) Those who oppose Israel get to define anti-Arab bigotry and just about anyone who supports Israel does so because of anti-Arab bigotry.
