[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Jeff, theses posts are seriously offensive.  I can't imagine you being proud of what some of these threads have become.   Not is there a line between anti-semitism and anti-Israel.[/quote]

Not Jeff, of course, but I think there is a huge difference between anti-Semitism (and Arabs are semites by the way) and being anti-Israel (or critical of Israel). I have absolutely no problem with Jews and Judaism, but I have very strong objections to Israeli policy and American support of that policy. [/quote]I think the problem lies with separating American Jews, in this instance only, from their inextricable connection to Israel whether mentally or emotionally.  If a Jewish person emigrated from Russia, most would unwittingly connect that person to Israel, not Russia.

With all the discord that Russia has caused in the Ukraine (and the world now), we are quick to hold harmless Russians living here for the sins of their government.   There are numerous potential threats to world 'peace' going on right now especially the China/Japan island dispute that is escalating with potentially catastrophic results.  Are we ready to start with anti-sentiments when the fighting starts which will directly impact America?

I would suggest being cautious about anti-semitic speech and writing and instead being anti-Israel POLICY versus anti-Israel.[/quote]
