And yet Israel still treats their Palestinian neighbors better than most of the nearby contries treat their Palestinian refuge camps. Naturally, the same people who blame the former on "teh Evil Jews" also blame the latter on "teh Evil Jews" (as well as the national debt, the behavior of Hollywood, and price of gas ,.....).

A caged bird is still caged. I would challenge you to get off your high horse and live in the world which they do.

It's anti-semitic in the sense that it's usually mentioned as part of some larger anti-semitic rant.

As others have pointed out, nothing anti-semitic was said so this is basically the same as Godwin's law here.

On the other half of your comment - if Palestinians were launching rockets at my neighborhood school, I would have been vigorously advocating a Carthaginian peace myself, so I can only admire Israel's restraint in the circumstances.

Israel doesn't show any restraint at all. Basically they're attacked by crude rockets of questionable effectiveness and they respond with military grade weapons. The number of Israelis killed by these rockets since 2001 is 31. I'm pretty sure that they've killed more innocent Palestinians than that.

People are probably so up in arms about it because Google was taken to court over privacy issues in Buzz and the outcome of that was that Google agreed that they wouldn't make any future privacy misrepresentations.

I personally have my browsers set to block 3rd party and advertiser cookies so if some company were to put a cookie on my machine when I was trying my damnedest to not allow them to, well, that would make me a little miffed. The thing that gets me is all the companies doing this make me agree to a eula to use their site but when I ask them to obey the settings I've made on my machine they conveniently ignore them.
