An important question from the new Political Editor of the New Statesman
In a week when the Guardian publishes a sympathetic profile of the ultra orthodox anti-Zionists holding violent demonstrations in Jerusalem and a column about the limits imposed on free speech in Israel (apparently you could get into a row with your dad), Mehdi Hassan asks:
Does Israel "cause" anti-Semitism?
Why yes, yes it does, now you mention it. See, Israel is full of Jews. Jews are the cause of antisemitism. No Jews, no antisemitism. Simple.
