Are IDF members Anti-Semites?
If Jewish members of the IDF speak out against the brutalization of innocent Palestinian civilians are they anti Semites?
It has become the automatic response that anyone who speaks out against tactics used to brutalize innocent Palestinian civilians is publicly branded an anti-Semite. Currently hundreds of IDF members are doing the same thing, are they anti Semites?
If they are why aren't they publicly branded anti-Semites, if they aren't and speaking out against the tactics used to brutalize innocent Palestinian civilians is not anti semetic past and present labeling of critics as anti semetics was/is all Sharonist b.s.

Officers and soldiers have begun publicly criticizing specific tactics that they consider dehumanizing to both their own troops and Palestinians. And while they do not question the need to prevent terrorist acts against Israelis, military officials and soldiers are speaking out with increasing frequency against a strategy that they say has forsaken negotiation and relied almost exclusively on military force to address the conflict.
