I get frustrated when calling people out on their bias against Israel when they pull the "can't a person criticize Israel without being called an anti-semite" card.
If I were going to a KKK sponsored anti-Obama rally and tried saying "can't I oppose Obama without being called a racist", I'd get dragged out on the mat for it. But people do it all the time with Hamas and Hezbollah.
Conversely, getting told I support something because I hate old people, foreign people, black people, women people, etc etc gets old.
