In reply to the discussion: Gaza. I agree it is a massacre and should stop immediately. [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,285 posts)65. Some points
If anti-semitism didn't exist it couldn't be "stoked or incited," intensified, I also qualified that with "ignorant people."
Then one shouldn't blame the victims, as has been shown.
The one regarding the "U.S being Israel's bitch" is a direct reflection of U.S. unwavering support for Israel regardless of their government's actions.
The Congress came out in unanimous support for Israel's right to defend itself, which is a pretty redundant statement as any nation has a right to defend itself, the same should be said for oppressed peoples and the Palestinians would certainly qualify.

And that comment justifies a sexist and anti-Semitic response? Or is that simply another "ignorant people: remark?
Re: "good jews" don't you believe it would be and was expected of good Americans to criticize our government not when they "do anything" as you stated but when they start wars based on lies and promote torture?
You really don't see what you did, do you? That is part of the problem. "Good Israelis" is one thing, "good Jews" is another. Do you...CAN you, see the difference?
I would add the addendum of 'The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men and women to do and/or say nothing.'
That is painfully obvious when it comes to anti-Semitism. Lip service.
Anytime a UN resolution, (this would be the same UN that promoted the creation of Israel and a Palestine Mandate) has come out condemning Israel for an atrocity perhaps sometimes deserved and sometimes not, the U.S. has virtually always been alone in vetoing it.
Uh, no. If that were the case, then there would be NO resolutions against Israel...and yet (you might want to actually want to review the number of resolutions against Israel and the number vetoed (which only can happen in the Security Council, so bad form). Another useful BS trope.
Continue to use your Holocaust references, it is expected, but it doesn't mean it is right.

Well said. No, Bibi does NOT represent Jews. He doesn't even represent most Israelis I think.

Do you believe the man in the pic is feeding off the collective guilt of the Holocaust?

Yes. Because it is what is expected of "good Jews" when Israel does anything.
