This is just an anti-semitic rant. Josef Goebbels would have given it 10 out of 10.

Yes, that is usually the anti-semite's first defence; to say they were just talking about Zionists. I have seen too much of it to believe that for a moment.
Did you key on the word Zionist and assume it was in some way antisemitic? Do you assume all Zionists are Jewish? I'm confused. Please clarify.

Please define Zionism for us. And show me where this article is anti-semitic, Maybe then we can have a discussion like adults.

Who said or even remotely implied that you might be Jewish. As I said, when you are prepared to discuss this as an adult, come back with some proof of your allegations and some definitions. Until then, you are on ignore.

But if Alfie is a Jew, I can see why he might be somewhat offended. Jews have been persecuted and abused God knows for how many years, so his statement is understandable as well.

Being anti-Zionist is not being anti-Semitic. Not all Zionists are Semites. And yes, I ignore people who most probably did not read the article and come in ready to pick a fight over one one they appear to have zeroed in on. I ignore people who appear to have tossed an entire article and every idea in it out and refuse to discuss based on said zeroing in. I don't only read and discuss things I agree with. If an article contains 9 valid points and one invalid point I don't focus on the invalid point and say all 10 points are invalid. Get my drift?
GRAHAM: "The Jewish stranglehold on the media has got to be broken or this country's going down the drain".
NIXON: "You believe that?"
GRAHAM: "Yes, sir."
NIXON: "Oh boy. So do I. I can't ever say that but I do believe it" 38
