It's fascinatin' actually that we get this Jews=nazis bullshit and Jews=southern slave master bullshit from our fellow progressives. And you go so much more relatively easy on the right-wingnut supporters of the State of Israel. Reckon WTF that's all about, eh?

And reckon what the deal is with lefty's when they go all apeshit over skinhead anti-Semitism, or redneck anti-Semitism, or just plain old American Christian anti-Semitism...but when it's Arab/Palestinian anti-Semitism...it's the Jews own fault. It's the poor oppressed Palestinians who apparently have justification for their anti-Semitism.

I also find it most interesting how Israel's neighbor states supply and fund Hamas and Hezbollah and other organizations with weapons, and money for weapons, and money for flight school in Florida, when they could just as easily supply the Palestinian leadership with aid that would allow for some economic growth and improvement of quality of life issues for Palestinians. Economic aid isn't going to provide much progress toward the actual goal I suppose, which is not helping out their fellow Muslims, but getting rid of Jews.

Where do you get the notion that anyone here condones antisemitism? I have a problem with the notion that suffering from antisemitism justifies any and all oppression against another minority.
