I was in the kitchen at work today, and went to the cupboard to get a mug for my tea. I started to take one of the cups but then realised it said 'I love Israel' on the side. I quickly whipped my hand away as if the cup was on fire!
Why would I do this? Did I think that by using this mug I was somehow letting down my brothers and sisters in Palestine? And even if this was the case, why was I so scared to even touch the cup for a second? Would I get contaminated by Zionism?
I was slightly distgusted by myself for being so anti-Semitic, and then had a cup of tea with NO SUGAR to punish myself (in an Arsenal FC mug).

I always wanted to buy a mug for someone (anyone) with the caption "I saw this mug and thought of you"
You can't take the sky from me!

You certainly would be letting the palestinian brothers and sisters down by drinking in cup with such a statement.
Being anti-Israel and anti-Zionist is not being anti-Semitic.

How did you get hold of this mug?
Let them belittle you, they win.
But keep your chin up, they fail.
