One example:
Pointing out the issues surrounding kosher dietary laws as if they have relevance to a one state solution, peace, or the existance of Israel is anti-Jewish. There are similar dietary laws through the entire middle east, under the far more strict guidances of Shari'a laws and nobody is making claims that Halal meat will be the downfall of the Muslim world.
Religious Jews practice kashrut law world wide. It's a religious law, but there aren't any religious police in Judaism. Kosher certification is something special you request. It's not an actual law. Virtually all hotels adhere to the detailed restrictions but there's a huge industry of other food service establishments that serve pork. The only thing that can happen is you lose your certification. Educated Jews aren't offended by this, and it's inclusion into an article is inappropriate offensive bullshit. These laws aren't effecting clear and rational thinking as the article suggests. The article preys on people who wouldn't know better, who are in over their heads debating the basics, let alone can fathom that a religious law isn't an imposed restriction in the Jewish state. When you are critical of Jewish dietary laws you are critical of Jewish tradition, not the State of Israel.
