One of the hazards of the pathological Israel bashing trade is you attract antisemites.
Jut ask Richard Silverstein, who told off an antisemitic tweeter (yes, I mean antisemitic) for tweeting a Hitler-Bibi picture at him.

Anyone who posts pictures in my feed of Bibi Netanyahu with Hitler moustache or Israeli flag with swastika will be muted or blocked.

Could it be that Silverstein finds this kind of vile Nazi-Israeli comparison offensive?
Well, not exactly.

Right. Nothing offensive about it, it could just damage the cause.
You need to be a little more subtle, ya know.
