Considering Grass's entire post-war history and literary work, calling him an anti-semite is retarded.

Grass is also a very easy target as most other young German men and older teenagers who survived WWII, more or less every German male born between 1915 and 1930 served in the military. You can just see the Pope as a other example, who is blamed for being (quite involuntary) member of the Hitler Jugend and his service in the Wehrmacht.

Pretty much as Kashubians, Silesians, Luxembourgian, many of whom were involuntairly drafted into Wehrmacht by occupants. Well, I suppouse for some they are just HPs because of this, in fact, tragedy :/

Also, I'm wondering if Israeli government and establishment are aware that playing "you're an anti-semite if you criticize Israeli politics" does not help Israel abroad?

Heh, I always supported Israel's right to existence, but I certainly do not support many of their policies. I guess I'm a vile anti-semite who should die painfully, as one teenager with brain of an ant said few posts above Roll Eyes

Israeli interior minister Eli Yishai has banned Günter Grass from entering Israel.

That'll teach him!
