I have said again and again that it is not racist to oppose Obama's policies. That does not mean that the GOP will not exploit for its own purposes the racist attitudes toward Obama that most certainly exist among a sizable sector of the GOP constituency. Moreover, there are some for whom the intensity of the disagreement is related to race.

Along the same lines, there are certainly some who base their hatred of Israel on antisemitism, but there are also those who have genuine humanitarian concerns about the conditions under which the occupants of Gaza live.
