When there is conflict, you can work toward reconciliation or you can work toward further conflict. Is is pretty clear that your interest is in increased conflict. Given that you are proudly conservative, it is understandable that you have an interest in furthering divisions between the black and Jewish communities. I'm sure that if such a rift drove Jews toward the Republican Party, you would consider that a tremendous victory.

It is really sad that you would exploit something as horrible as anti-Semitism to achieve your partisan goal. Yes, it is terrible, it is terrible that you as a Jew, accuse someone of being a blatant anti-Semite where he is no such thing. Unlike you, the JUFJ is interested is reconciliation rather than conflict. But, because of your extreme partisanship, you disregard them, despite the fact that they have much greater knowledge of the situation than you.

Again, if someone accused you of blatant racism, would that make you more or less friendly towards people of color? That question does not involve White. It is a simple question. If you faced unfair allegations of that type, how would you react? Can you honestly say that would make you more emphatic towards people of color?

Wow. Your disdain for Jews who refuse to "be understanding" about prejudice toward Jews is coming through loud and clear. All of a sudden I'm the one who is driving division between Jews and blacks? Because I am taking a strong position against liberal DC politicians who either demonstrate antisemitic attitudes or are willing to accept them? You hate me, being a Jew who stands up against expressions of antisemtitsm. more than you do the bigoted politician who is advancing them! And why? Because he is a liberal and I am a conservative.

And look how you switched it around to attack the Jew, whose only "crime" is not failing on her sword in the face of rising antisemtism: My partisan goal is to creatr division between blacks and Jews.....and how it's not making me more emphatic to POC.....and my extreme partisanship.....blah, blah, blah. All I see from YOU is extreme partisanship, and continued efforts to downplay, excuse, and justify antisemitic attitudes when they occur among liberals. You would NEVER act this way if a Christian made repeated anti-Muslim statements and the Muslim objected.! Would you tell the Muslim: "try to be more understanding of the Christians. Why are you trying to stir up conflict"?

I don't expect to get through to you, due to your extreme partisanship and pleasure in attacking me for my political beliefs. I do hope that others will reflect on what Ive written.

LOL, I don't hate you. I am giving you a platform to present your views even though I strongly disagree with them.

You have made it pretty clear [b]that anti-Semitism is only of interest to you if it can be exploited to further your partisan politics. You see an opportunity to attack liberals and further a black/Jewish divide. [/b]The facts don't matter at all. It's sad because I detest anti-Semitism just as I detest racism, bigotry, sexism, and other forms of discrimination (yes, including Islamophobia). I would love to find common ground with you to combat anti-Semitism. But such a thing would actually be against your interests. Your agenda is division, not reconciliation. For you, "anti-Semitism" has nothing to do with actual anti-Semitism. It is just a handy tool to further your partisan political interests. [/quote]
Wow again. You defend the anti-Semite, and then assign disreputable reasons for my objections to antisemitism. Now you're claiming I don't really care about Jew-haters at all! Unreal.

How about....I am a Jew who has had some pretty horrific anti-Semitism launched my and my family's way (worse during childhood), which included not only slurs but destruction of property. I want to ferret it out wherever it exists, and that INCLUDES when it exists among liberal politicians. ZERO TOLERANCE. And yes, I am appalled by the anti-Jew rallies on the right (I know you're going there), but they are an extreme fringe group who do me no harm. Now, antisemitic beliefs percolating through DC residents (native Washingtonian here) are actually more insidious and thus more damaging. [/quote]
