[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As a jewish (American) person who doesn't want to hear people bash Israel, I would appreciate the call from you. Yes, a lot of what Israel is doing is atrocious but this country has been defending themselves from all sides for their entire "life".

I have never heard ANYONE unleash on the IDF without ALSO talking smack about Jewish people. THAT is the real issue for me. Their antisemitism comes roaring out, and they can't/won't see that. [/quote]
BS. I am Jewish  and I have zero problem separating being Jewish and the atrocities  going on at the hands of a dictator in Israel. Again- please don't conflate religion with national politics. Being against  Israel is not antisemitism- I don't care how often you say it's the same. You are wrong. There is NOTHING in my religion that endorses the wholesale murder of thousands of innocent people.
There's nothing about starting WW3. I am horrified at my friends who actually cannot understand how they are being played right now.  I say SPEAK UP. If she couldn't defend her position- it means she has no position. Also, if there was ever a time in history to avoid talking about religion and politics- it sure isn't now. Lives depend on caring about it. [/quote]
