It is official: ADL declares boycott AND right of return anti-Semitic

By insisting on “the right of Palestinian refugees to return to the homes and lands from which they were forcibly displaced” in 1948, Mr. Barghouti effectively denies the Jewish people the right to fulfill their aspirations for a nation state. Singling out only Jews for the boycott — and encouraging governments, businesses and individuals to join in — is, at its core, anti-Semitic.

The so-called Palestinian “right of return” is a political tool — concocted and perpetuated by the Palestinian leadership to undermine a two-state solution by eliminating the Jewish majority in Israel. It is the demographic equivalent of invasion and conquest, clothed in more palatable terms of “nonviolence” and “democracy.” It is time those who side with the B.D.S. proponents wake up to the true goals of this enterprise."  By ADL's logic, the fertility rates of blacks and Latinos in the US is a conspiracy to undermine the white majority.

PS 1) Notice how balanced the letters to the editor are.
2) Invariably, whenever anyone expresses a non-Zionist view in the Times, the last word is always given to ADL.
