I just did, I guess you haven't been paying that much attention to South America much the lat 10 years. Except of course Chavez and Morales who the Corporate Media tell you are, "Bad, Very Bad."

Criticism of Israel is not anti Semitic.
The people that were there first have a right to the land, like the Native Americans. Problem is the Jews were gone when the Arabs arrived by then7th century, there was no Israel, it was just referred to as Palestine and part of Egypt and a part of Syria in the north. The Palestinians were there before the 1870 Europeans.
