The Israel variation of Godwin's Law
We need a new variation of Godwin's Law. The original reads:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one.
The new variation could read:
As a political discussion about Israel grows longer, the probability that a defender of Israel will level accusations of anti-semitism against the critics of Israel approaches one.
The same holds true for any discussion about a Jewish politician.
(Post inspired by this from Steve Gilliard).
And we need a new rule: any accusation of anti-semitism must be backed up by specific examples of said anti-semitism.
