DeathAxe Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 After seeing this I thought to myself, as I have done before, why do people have such a problem with jews? Because the hate travels both ways. Have you seen some of the stuff in their religious books? Non Jews are seen as no better than animals to them. I also find the word gentile rather offensive. And because of the martyrdom, they can say and do as they please, and no one can say anything against them without being called a raciest. This is the reason I'm not a fan of them. They do have great comedians though so it is not all bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johncocker Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 When are people going to wake up and realize that being angry at the conduct of jews and the behavior of the jews does not make one an anti-Semite... It's such a willfully blind way of considering criticism. [b] criticism of your behavior is not [/b]direct criticism of your existence. Also I would say that a great majority of those who criticize Israel are also very critical of US foreign policy as well... Note that people tend not to say "jews are bad" but "israel is bad," and that it's typically Israelis or American Jews that can't see the difference...

When you're angry at Jews in general, then it is anti-semitic. I agree criticising Israel is different though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeathAxe Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 "anti-semitic" gets thrown around a lot, and used as a get out of jail free card every time. And non Jews that use it are just BSing. No matter how much you BS, you cannot be offended by something that is not directed to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are not a member of something then why criticize others who are ? Just walk away. Antagonism is the beginning of hatred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
