Is Cindy Sheehan anti-Semitic?

As I flipped through 'The O'Reilly Factor' a night or two ago I caught a blurb to the effect that Cindy Sheehan was 'anti-Semitic' because she thought that 'Iraq was all about Israel.' Nonsense.

I am anti-Semitic. Cindy Sheehan is not anti-Semitic. Cindy Sheehan is pissed off because her son was killed in Iraq. Cindy Sheehan has simply made the (obvious) connection between Iraq, Israel, a fundamentalist Christian president, the Jewish Establishment, a circumcised nation, oil, Bush family politics, Neo-cons (new age Jewish con artists?), and Jesus' immanent arrival.

How can that be anti-Semitic? That's Christian!

Clearly, Cindy Sheehan has (not yet) arrived at the conclusion that the Jewish Establishment, working with the Christian Fundamentalist Evangelical Community, has staked the National Existence on a dubious war with Islam, the objective of which is the viability of the fifty first state of Israel.

I have arrived at that conclusion.

Cindy Sheehan has not.

Yet.
