[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As an Indian, my sympathies and support is with Israel.   Very sorry about innocent lives being lost on both sides as it happens in any war - but Hamas is responsible for that. Israel is fighting for its very existence.  [/quote]

As an Indian, I hate Israel. Hate. I cannot understand for the life of me how anyone can support this kind of violent nationalism.

Belly laughs! I’m not sure you meant to be ironic or not…Your racism and hate free no one.

I’m not the one who wrote the first quote but how is it racist to hate Israel? It’s a despicable nation that is taking people’s land and killing them for it in the most cruel ways every single day.

I would say that to any nation that inflicted such cruelty.

Are you offended because [b]it’s a nation of white settlers from Eastern Europe.[/b] And you are one too? Sorry but THAT is racist. To obsolve one’s people who are doing harm just because of their race.

Have you been to Israel and Palestine? I have, and the idea that the Israelis are white oppressors and the Palestinians are oppressed people of color is inaccurate. It's trying to take the US racial perspective and overlay it onto a completely different region. When you walk down the street in Jerusalem, if not for the clothing and head wraps, it would be very difficult to separate Jews and Arabs into their constituents. This is because a large number of Israelis are Sephardic or Mizarahi Jews--they are from the Middle East. This is unlike American Jewry, whose demographics are predominantly Ashkenazi Jews from Eastern Europe. They're both Semitic peoples. [/quote]
