> self-referential inconsistency is increasingly maligned What does this mean? People don't accept arguments that contradict themselves? Why is that a problem?

  The violation of self-referential consistency comes in when the Israelis engage in behavior which is commonly recognized at being war crimes, but expect to be able to fend off International judgement/disapproval eith the bulwark of a stigma tagainst anti-semitism, and that not agreeing with them or backing is somehow an act of thereof. Every other Western Nation would be lambasted for engaging in the same types of activity the Israelis get up to on the regular with regard to Palestine. It's been over 50 years since they unilaterally flouted the Palestine Partition plan (the last Internationally agreed upon good faith status quo), and went about reshuffling their borders as they see fit, with the West sitting back and funneling them the money and Arms to do so. I may not have to deal with angry rocket toting neigbors on the reg, but I also conduct myself in a manner such that my neighbors don't feel the need to lob rockets in my direction. Takes two to casus belli.
