(10,650 posts)In any case, I stand by my view that raising this issue is not, by itself, anti-Semitic. As I said, I don't personally like bringing the Nazi regime into the discussion, but I don't automatically accuse those that do of anti-Semitism.
I won't go through all you points one by one, but I will say this about AIPAC. I do not believe AIPAC puts America's interests first. I believe it puts Israel's interests first but finds a way to rationalize that it is also America's interest. I also believe AIPAC does have undue influence on American policy. So does the NRA, but that doesn't mean I'm anti-Christian, or anti whatever religion predominates that group.
I think the Likud and other right wing parties in Israel are evil. I think the republican party in the US is evil. That doesn't mean I am anti-Christian because the republicans claim to be Christians.
