Is it just me or the angle being played here is a bit weird?

I want to like the article, but the anti-semitism argument is an old refrain and not particularly on topic.

It's possible I'm reading too much into it, though, especially due to recent events. I don't mean to be inflammatory.

Speaking of which, the title really needs to say (2014).

It's not just you - the article is definitely weird and manipulative in its language and argumentation. Kind of mindfuck piece of writing, basically.

> The fact that Israelis quite recently elected moderate governments that sought reconciliation with the Palestinians, and which were undermined by the Palestinians, is considered unimportant and rarely mentioned.

Ah yes, the moderate Israeli government that decided to withdraw the illegal Israeli occupation of Palestine. Oh wait, they kept expanding it!
