WHILE I'm sure Judy White would never identify with anti-Semites, there is a simple test (Letters, 2-3/11).

Besides Israel, who else are you boycotting? Syria has killed more Palestinians in the past year than Israel. Hamas killed more Palestinians in 2008 than Israel did. Jordan killed more Palestinians in a single week than Israel did in the following 50 years.

If you single out Israel for sanctions, yet ignore countries with worse human-rights records, then if you're not simply an anti-Semite, you're at the least stunningly naive. Which is it?

One would have thought that Greens politician Lee Rhiannon would be more concerned about the crisis in Syria and about democracy in the wider Arab world than about Palestinians
