[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can honestly say that I'm less upset by Trayon's White's comments/actions than by the repetitive attempts here to say that they "aren't that bad."

I actually don't care what happens with Trayon White as an individual. What I would like is recognition that anti-semitism among people of color is on the rise, with the cause of the Palestinians a convenient cover for those accusations. For American Jews, it increasingly feels like (mostly mild, "all Jews are like this") anti-semitism is ok on the left and the right. It's alarming.

When you combine it with the rise in real anti-Jewish hate crimes here and around the world, Jews aren't sure what to think. It certainly feels like Jews are the last group anyone wants to defend ...[/quote]
Thank you. And FTR, your post  is not from the "prominent poster" to whom Jeff referred, as I believe that would be me.

And what you are saying is exactly the point I keep trying to make.....the message that antisemitism isn't that bad, or certainly it's not as bad as relgious prejudice against Muslims or racial prejudice against blacks. That's why we see all this pretzel-twisting to explain it away.

I too have been appalled by how unwilling (some) liberals are to admit that one of their council members is repeatedly demonstrating antisemtitic attitudes. Excuses after excuse. Just call it like it is: the guy is antisemtitic, and too stupid apparently to learn from his revelation of it.

What exactly did Mr White say or do that you think is unabashedly anti Semitic [/quote]
