In reply to the discussion: Anti-Semitism: One Jew's perspective about recent events (long read) [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,199 posts)It is very clear to people reading your tripe, the real issue is yours with anti-Semitism. Not one person "lost their shit" at the "mere mention" of Arabs; that is your strawman and it is being used for a very specific reason; cast dispersions on anyone who dares speak out on anti-Semitism.
Your pathetic, and unoriginal, argument is falling on deaf ears because it is you who is trying to redefine a word and doing exactly what I pointed out in the OP. So your bullshit assertion my remarks was a "hidden" way to exclude Arabs is all on you. If you want to play that game, I can assert the real reason you are doing this is because the very idea of discrimination against Jews is a foreign concept to you because you don't see Jews as a "real" minority, and therefore, anti-Semitism, isn't a "real" form of bigotry. See how strawman arguments work?
"It is no secret that there is an ongoing conflict between Jews and Arabs in Israel, and that bigotry is a two-way street in the context of that conflict. What the OP has done is to define any acknowledgement of this two-way street as a form of bigotry and therefore asserted a form of moral high-ground for one side of this conflict. "
This is fucking laughable on so many levels, but falls right into the wheelhouse of the bullshit you are spreading. Here, need an example:
TOPIC: Jewish cemeteries have been vandalized and that is atrocious.
RESPONSE: Not to mention shooting kids in the back from 60 yards away over a border and calling it self defense
That is an example of using "but...but...Israel" to distract from anti-Semitism. How incredible you'd even talk about the vandalized cemeteries and someone provided an example of what I was discussing, something you are trying to claim isn't true. BTW, this happened mere hours ago. So the ones making those comparisons are you, that poster, and those who can't stand there is a "special" name for hatred of Jews. Why is that?
ETA: It should be noted by all you made this about "nationalistic ideology". What a 'strange' choice of words to describe a Jewish AMERICAN talking about ANTI-SEMITISM.
