Their approach now seems to be heading towards, "Loewenstein is being manipulated by our enemies and he is too stupid to see that." An enemy is, of course, anyone who dares to question their overt racism, disrespect for human rights, flouting of international law and contempt for those international organisations (such as the UN) that attempt to enforce it.

How observant of you. Israel's amen corner work overtime to conflate criticism of Israel with being anti-Jewish, but become selectively nuanced when the premise is used against them.
