[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On one hand, we have people like Stuart Seldowitz and those who share his views. They are usually very careful about going full Stu Seldowitz, of course, but rest assured that they are cut from nearly unlimited cloth.

On the other hand, we have people like Susan Sarandon and some actress from a horror movie franchise, and those that share their views. I happen to think there are billions of people across the globe who share their views / opinions, but your mileage may vary.

Having said that, can anyone explain why the actions of the former are not absolutely drowning out anything that can said about the actions of the latter? Like, why are we even taking about ANYONE other that Stu?[/quote]

Because antisemitism is more significant threat at this point.[/quote]

You’re not grounded in reality.[/quote]

In the “chosen people” mindset, everything is subordinated to the priorities of the clan. Significance is defined by them and their priorities, regardless of relative magnitude.

It’s why over 8,000 innocent Palestinian women and children murdered by the IDF over the past 6+ weeks are not even deserving of a grain of salt’s worth of attention when the the more significant tragedy is embodied by the 1,200 who were killed on 10/7.[/quote]Blaming American jews is wrong, just like blaming American muslims after 9/11 was wrong [/quote]

If you abuse the anti-semitism label, seeking to characterize everything critical of the State of Israel as anti-semitism, I’m definitely blaming you. If you support the State of Israel’s actions, I’m blaming you (just like I’ll blame anyone who supports the actions of Hamas on 10/7). If you attempt to dictate when terms like genocide or ethnic cleansing can be used, I’m blaming you.

Basically, if you equate anti-Zionism with anti-semitism, I’m blaming you. If you think the U.S. has been an honest broker in the region over the past 75 years, I’m blaming you. Also, if you think you are “chosen” or inherently better than others (like the people subjugated in Gaza and the West Bank on their ancestral land), I’m blaming you. And if you insist that slogans that are thrown around like “From the River to the sea, Palestine will be Free” are existential threats (when essentially the same slogan is embedded in the Likud’s founding documents), I’m blaming you.

There are also many reasons that I’ll blame certain Palestinian groups and the corrupt leadership for, too. As well as Palestinians (here in the U.S. and abroad on their ancestral land) who support groups that compromise the peace process, or who harbor views of Jews that cannot be resolved through peaceful co-existence.

Israelis and Palestinians need to figure this out without the U.S. and actors outside the region attempting to tip the scale every minute in the State of Israel’s favor. That has been the status quo for far too long.[/quote]
