In reply to the discussion: Protesters shout 'babykillers' at Jewish elementary school children [View all]AloeVera
(4,246 posts)160. No oops, no gotcha.
I want people to quit making lame excused for the continuing slaughter. I believe that all people are equal and deserve to live. If that makes me some king of bad person, or anti-Semitic in the eyes of some, I hate it, but I won't shut up as long as I see horror being inflicted on one group by another. And yea, before someone asks a silly question, that goes for Hamas as much as the IDF.
It seems that some folks believe that they can bully others, with their outrage, into staying silent. Hint: it ain't gonna happen. I don't give a damn what war-mongers think of me.

Please explain to me what is objectionable. Sure, the use of war-mongers may be to some. But anti-semitism? No.
Those are sentiments I fully agree with. It is why I didn't self-delete after I realized he had been banned. You will see that I defended his views even after.
But what does that have to do with my post? You may not like the content or the message, but it's a real stretch and worse to pivot like this. It's exactly the point the poster was trying to make.

Most people would be disgusted by both, I think. And condemn both. That is the right thing to do, I also think.

Are those kids members of the Knesset or something? They all Likud? Any of them on Bibi's cabinet? They in the IDF?
