"You have nationalised the word 'Jew'"

Alain Badiou, probably France's greatest living philosopher, accusing Alain Finkielkraut - one of Israel's staunchest defenders in France - of having "nationalised the word 'Jew'" and made it so legitimate criticism of Israel is considered antisemitic".

You only have to read Ha'artez to read daily criticism of Netanyahu's actions which the left-wing and right-wing press in Europe would refuse to print for fear of being accused of antisemitism.

Jews who do criticise the slaughter (I call it that because it is not a war) are regularly accused of being self hating. 

Am I a pedant to say that it is the IDF who are the anti-Semites? They have slaughtered tens of thousands of Semites.
