The New York Times: Anti-Zionism versus Anti-Semitism?

Epigraph:

 “‘When a foreigner resides among you in your land, do not mistreat them. The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the Lord your God.

“‘Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin. I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of Egypt.

“‘Keep all my decrees and all my laws and follow them. I am the Lord.’” (Leviticus 19:33-37)
