It gets better... Bigoted anti-Semites like Nate Perkins see the world
this way:
1. If the terrorist group has Israel on its list of enemies, than
obviously it is Israel's fault

2. If by some miracle, there is a terrorist out there who doesn't
hate Israel, then the Mossad (and Israel) must be behind the
terrorist so again Israel is at fault.

So Israel is really in a catch-22. Either it is the victim of
terrorism and therefore at fault or if not the victim than obviously
it must be the colluder (witness the anti-Semitic libels that the Mossad
was behind 9/11 or that Jews knew about it in advance and stayed away).

Such is the twisted mind of the anti-Zionist, which is just
anti-Semitism with a twist. For the old European anti-Semitic canards
similarly put the Jew in a similar catch-22:
1. If a Jew was poor and downtrodden then he was a burden to
society and not fit for living.
2. If a Jew was wealthy and comfortable then he was obviously a
parasite on society and not fit for living.

However, for low life like Nate, calling yourself anti-Zionist sounds a
bit less crass than admitting to the same 2 thousand year old disease of
anti-Semitism that his relatives brought him up in. You can't teach an
old dog new tricks...
