I am still trying to figure out the line between criticising Israel/Jews in politics/Jewish politics and anti-semitism. So I have a question: When Christopher Hitchens claims that "The Democrat party truly is what some people crudely say: a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Israeli lobby", is he being critical of the Democrats or is he being anti-semitic?
