The situation in Gaza is still very fresh in people's minds. It is going to be brought up.

The Imam is a nutjob. It's what nutjobs do - they capitalize on current events to further their brand of nutjobbery and bigotry. It doesn't make what George Bush (or some of Obama's policies, for that matter) any less horrible. It also doesn't make Netanyahu's decisions palatable or justifiable, either.

Every single thread where someone criticizes Netanyahu and the actions that took place in Gaza ALSO has people leap to chime in about how horrible this group is or that group is, or what somebody said, so honestly, this line of reasoning isn't garnering much sympathy anymore. Let me know when someone in this thread doesn't condemn what the nut Imam said, then we can talk about how awful that DUer is about bashing minority groups - I'm not seeing it.

Let me be blunt. Kurska Aug 2014 #19

"And would we accept anyone doing this for any other minority group?" Rhinodawg Aug 2014 #20

Yup, exactly my point. Kurska Aug 2014 #21

I must be forgetting Aerows Aug 2014 #24

You got attacked in this thread Aerows Aug 2014 #117

REALLY? Aerows Aug 2014 #23

Wait, are you saying that this is equivalent to people saying Michael Brown deserved to die Kurska Aug 2014 #30

I'm defending a person where the topic at hand is "all Jews deserve to die"? Aerows Aug 2014 #38

The thread is about all jews deserving to die. Read the OP Kurska Aug 2014 #41

Unfortunately Aerows Aug 2014 #22

Can we please cut out the BS? Kurska Aug 2014 #25

George Bush is a war criminal. Aerows Aug 2014 #26

No one accused him of saying that, literally what thread are you reading? Kurska Aug 2014 #28

It is noble that you are not calling for the extermination of dumb people from Texas FrodosPet Aug 2014 #32

Probably not anymore than I could convince Aerows Aug 2014 #34

With many, if not most of them, in a one on one conversation FrodosPet Aug 2014 #42

Well then Aerows Aug 2014 #43

What's happening in Gaza is opening up the opportunity for barely disguised anti-semitism from some HERVEPA Aug 2014 #29

Or it could just be Aerows Aug 2014 #33

It's what you say for most people here, anti-semitism for many HERVEPA Aug 2014 #35

So you are accusing "many" on DU Aerows Aug 2014 #39

Not including you, am including many, obviously not naming names. HERVEPA Aug 2014 #45

Noticed. 840high Aug 2014 #49

Unlike anti-black and anti-Arab hate, which is refreshingly open on DU Scootaloo Aug 2014 #54

Yup. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #56

I'd like to think that many people Aerows Aug 2014 #57

And many use those prisims to their advantage, then claim "foul" when called on it. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #59

Examples Aerows Aug 2014 #60

Why? Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #61

The objection, then Aerows Aug 2014 #62

The objection is simply this... Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #63

Yes it does Aerows Aug 2014 #64

Yes, and it was that "heaping helping of hyperbole" above that started this subthread. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #65

At least it was acknowledged as anti semitism. Warren DeMontague Aug 2014 #71

You noticed that too? Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #72

+ 10000 JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #89

No, it's just that when someone advocates killing all Jews, that's the PERFECT TIME Warren DeMontague Aug 2014 #69

Thank you JustAnotherGen Aug 2014 #88

Frankly, I believe DU is Aerows Aug 2014 #134

Israel is not a "minority group" Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #66

But Jews ARE a minority group and the Iman wasn't calling for the destruction of Israel. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #67

Muslim anti-Semitism is largely a reaction to Israel's actions against the Palestinians. Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #68

Anti-Semitism is still anti-Semitism. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #70

It seems to be rather wilfully ignorant... Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #73

It seems to me to be wilfully ignorant... Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #74

There's a difference between an explanation and an excuse Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #75

Yes there is. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #76

It's not just "my" logic, as the examples provided amply illustrate Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #77

The nuance issue seems to be yours. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #78

Nope, it's entirely yours Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #80

No, it is actually all yours. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #81

I have't commented on that post, one way or another... Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #84

Of course you haven't commented on that post. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #85

What "strawman"? Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #87

Yes, it is a strawman, but seemingly an accidental one. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #104

Hardly irrelevant. Spider Jerusalem Aug 2014 #106

You're still wrong. Behind the Aegis Aug 2014 #118
