Counterpoint: In support of Israeli Apartheid week

Clearly, the apartheid comparison is fair grounds for discussion and debate, at least by Israeli politicians, South African human rights advocates, and Michael Ignatieff before he became a politician..... Classic McCarthyism dismissed progressive movements as treasonous agents of a foreign Communist regime, offering little to no evidence to back up their destructive smears. It was a useful tool during the Cold War to marginalize and silence left-wing dissent. Similarly, the 2010 neo-McCarthyism dismisses certain critics of the state of Israel - particularly those who support the Palestinian civil society call for Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions against Israel, and are skeptical of the justice of a "two-state solution" - as anti-Semites, with no proof whatsoever.
