Sounds like some kind of misunderstanding about the bus assignments got blown way out of proportion. |
Disagreeing with Israel building settlements and oppressing the Palestinians is not anti-Semitic. That's how the conservatives spin it to prevent anyone from saying anything against human rights violations by Israel, because it you speak out against atrocities committed by Israel you are called anti-Semitic. Sorry, I'm not anti-Semitic, but I don't support Israel's continued oppression of the Palestinians. |
The Jew-hating Arabs were offered a two-state solution when Israel was formed in 1948, but they refused. They weren't interested in "sharing" because they did not - and still do not! - recognize Israel's right to exist. They have said repeatedly that they want every Jew wiped out of Israel. Israel needs land to protect itself from people sworn to its destruction. |
The antisemtic U.N. voted Israel as the biggest violator of human rights in the world. Give me a break. The Arabs in Isrsael have it better there than they would in any Arab country. And yet, the liberals fall all over themselve defending these Arab countries. It's all rooted in antisemitism. |
Wow. I guess someone has realized that it is impossible to defend Israel's actions so it is simply better to declare criticism of Israel to be out of bounds. Are you one of those people who complains about liberals being PC? Do you hate "safe places" on college campuses? Would you say that criticism of Iran or Saudi Arabia is anti-Islamic? |
Give me a break. Plenty of Jewish people agree that the Israeli Government is guilty of Human Rights Violations ans International War Crimes. |
Um, this is the Olympics where you leave politics at home. If you can't deal, go home. In history, Lebanese are not the only ones that have been occupied. There are many others at the Olympics. But thank goodness that they don't act this way. Childish. |
Thank you. I've been disgusted by how quickly the liberals on this board have turned some nasty behavior by the Lebanese into an indictment against Israel. |
When it comes to seating on buses, history shows that it is better to be inclusive rather than exclusive. |
Moreso the than the Arwb countries? You think the UN's decision to scapegoat Israel as the biggest violator of human rights was accurate, or should they instead have awarded that to one of the Arab countries (where women can't show their hair or go drive)? Your answer will tell me if you're an antisemite. |
The verb you're looking for is 'spew'. Doesn't matter the context - any situation is a pretext to spew. |
Yes....I've used "spew" before. Great word - and on target. And for the liberals who think there is no correlation between being anti-Israel and the rise in antisemtisim (and who are willing to take a look at themselves), the following article, "The New Antisemitism," by Natan Sharansky might be of interest. (And to tie this in with another thread running concurrently, it is not PC to criticize Jews but it is PC to criticize Israel. It's a handy outlet for antisemites to spew their bigotry.) http://www.jcpa.org/phas/phas-sharansky-f04.htm |
Sharansky is a proponent of settlements in the West Bank. As a government minister, he led settlement expansion and the seizure of property from Palestinians. Clearly, someone with such view will not welcome criticism of Israeli. I'm sorry, I will criticize the construction of Israeli settlements in the occupied territories of the West Bank and East Jerusalem. If you consider that to be anti-Semitic, then I am sorry that you have reduced the term to meaninglessness. But, your labels will not stop my criticism. |
There is a rise of anti-Israel views. This is normal given Israel's actions. Let's face it, Israel refuses to let the U.S. use its airbases and encourages ISIS as a counter to Hamas. It is very interesting that Israel is left out of the discussion of countries that should deal with ISIS yet they are right next store. It's time for Israel to gets off its ass and earn its handouts form the U.S. |
And you haven't made the term "Islamophobe" meaningless by tossing it out to everyone and anyone disagrees with you on the Syrian refugee situation - such as expressing concern about possible terrorist infiltration into the refugee population? Your labels will not stop my (and other) posters criticism. |
