“In any case, photos taken at “solidarity” rallies regularly feature portraits of Gaddafi defaced with Stars of David. Nonetheless, when the Los Angeles Times’ “Babylon and Beyond” blog published a photo essay titled “Libya: Kadafi caricatures, parodies abound,” no Stars of David were to be seen. It is perhaps not coincidental that the post in fact contains only three photos and only two that are actually from Libya.”

You will never hear anyone seriously say, "Some of my best friends are Semites", in defense against an accusation of anti-Semitism. You might, however, occasionally hear the cynical variant, "Some of my best friends are Arabs", as if the accusation of anti-Semitism could possibly mean anything other than Jew-hatred specifically. It can't. Anti-Semitism is merely a mealy-mouthed rendering for the accursed hatred directed at Jews for millennia.
The proper denunciation of Jew-hatred is "Jew-hatred!", whether hurled at a crowd of Arabs rioting and burning Israeli flags in their recurring murderous fits of rage, or addressed to that old hag Helen Thomas at some formal cocktail party for doddering bigots.
The shame-stream media likes to pussyfoot around uncomfortable subjects. So they choose their euphemisms with care: "suicide" bombing for "homicide" bombing; "unacceptable" for "outrageous"; and that sniveling "anti-Semitism" for that most vile expression of man's inhumanity to man — "Jew-hatred".
