Although I certainly accept that much criticism of israel is not anti-semitic it certainly isn't hard to slide down that slope.

Ahhh, but that goes both ways. It's also easy for some people to dismiss legitimate criticism of Israeli policy by pulling out the Anti-Semitism bugaboo. It's been done several times in this thread. It's no wonder people get defensive....
Those among the Palestinians, be they citizens or government, that advocate violence against and/or eradication of Israel are wrong.
Israeli military respnse is overbroad and damages the moral high ground they should otherwise be able to hold IMHO.
