I read a book by Ludwig Lewisohn, a Jewish German-American writer of the 20's and 30's about his visit to Palestine in the 20's.

He wrote that the failure to hold Arabs to standards of human decency was a form of racism.

It still goes on.

It is a crime against humanity for tolerating a different standard for Israeli abuse against non-Jews!!

I think that the world holds Israel to an entirely different standard that it demands from any other nation - a much higher standard. In some cases, an impossible standard. And that is certainly a form of antisemitism as well.
