[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m not Jewish, and I don’t think of myself as someone who reflexively hypothesizes antisemitism, and I thought some of the Ted Cruz interview was entertainingly cringe.

BUT: the rate at which people criticize Israel, ignore the normalization of actual Nazis, and make comments about AIPAC etc. has surprised me, and it makes me think that more people around me than I realized have at least a twinge of antisemitic bias to them. I just do not get it. [/quote]

Everything you said seems to reflect the views of someone who doesn’t appear to comprehend at all what most everyone else in the world is seeing, but I guess the quickest path to getting somewhere in any conversation with you is this …

Setting aside the pejorative label for a moment, why is “a twinge of bias” relating to Israel in any way something that should bother any of us? We allow far more than a twinge of bias to exist in our society toward many groups. Those particular biases result in adverse impacts for those segments of our community that result in much more harm and are many orders of magnitude more destructive than any impact caused by anti-Israeli bias.

Given that, why should any of us join you in wringing our hands to ensure that Israelis, Zionists, or frankly even non-Zionist Jews are shielded from a view that judges them based on their actions, perceived or real?[/quote]
