So that puts his comments in the bracket of, at most, unhelpful speculation rather than racist etc - and only unhelpful because people like you start jumping up and down and getting hysterical becasue the right-wing press put it on the front page (although only, conveniently, after he can't be dropped)
The whole argument over Gaza is firmly stuck in the mess that happens when people interpret one thing as another
it is not racist or anti-Semitic to say that the Israeli state - not its people but the state - is going too far in Gaza yet that's what any critics are constantly accused of, despite the fact that there will be plenty of Israeli nationals who won't be comfortable with what's going on
