Adam Solomon, a Yale junior, has a blog. He's blogging about the Yale Political Union vote of last week. He thinks Jews should be able to criticize Israel:
It can get very difficult to support Israel and be taken seriously when
people are so used to getting emotional reactions saying that Israel
can do no wrong instead of real discussion… Put it like this, folks: when the Israelis are cool criticizing Israel,
just calm down and don't be afraid to do the same thing. You won't turn
into an anti-Semite.

In this blog, he calls John Mearsheimer, who started that conversation at the Yale Political Union, an "avowed anti-semite." I've never heard Mearsheimer avow any such thing. This is hate speech, and proves the rule: It's one thing for Jews to criticize Israel. Gentiles do so and we smear them.
[P.S. Mike Desch informs me I've missed Solomon's irony. If I have, I'm happy to apologize]
