[edit] Antisemitism
To be fair, this page is practically a clogosphere post. Reading it, I'm starting to agree with Atzmon's observation that "an antisemite used to be someone who hates Jews, now it's someone who Jews hate". The Guardian had a piece that dare to be sympathetic to Palestinians? OH MY GODS THE ENTIRE PAPER AND EVERYONE REMOTELY CONNECTED TO IT IS AN ANTISEMITE!!! ADK...I'll abandon your plague! 14:00, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Actually this article is a tad too negative in general isn't it? We're not dealing with Fox News here.--BobSpring is sprung! 15:39, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm, I didn't really get that impression. The article's complaint isn't that the Guardian ran a pro-Palestine piece, it's that it glossed over Atzmon's more unsavoury views in interviewing him. Balaam (talk) 17:06, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
- It's been a while since I was a regular Guardian reader but the "crime" they used to commit was to accept a wide range of views from the left hand side of the political spectrum. As far as I am concerned you will need more than a couple or articles to plead anti-Semitism and, unless the paper has drastically changed it's tone in recent years, I will find it hard to accept.

- It's more that there's an entire site dedicated to "exposing antisemitism in the Guardian's CiF blog"... If you look for things to fuel your persecution complex, you'll find it. ADK...I'll confuse your candlestick! 17:23, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
