Though I most definitely do not agree with Tinordi's statement, it is not crazy, nor is it even close to anti-Semitic. (I have never read Barry Fisher, so no comment there).
Many on the left try to make the case that Israel is a "pariah state" on par with North Korea or Iran. They will quote Amnesty's or Human Rights Watch's versions of bad things Israel has done, but I find it is always in a vacum never mentioning other countries issues or considering the full picture.
Tossing out the "you're ignorant or an anti-Semite" accusation, especially on such a standard left leaning comment, makes you appear ignorant (unable to make an argument) or just really thin-skinned.
Let's save it for the real crazy.
