Is It ANTISEMITISM To Criticize Israel?

    1. Hi Suze. Yes you get it. The republicans kept claiming on the Sunday news shows that the college protesters were Hamas supporters wanting the destruction of Israel. That is wrong. What the protesters want is an end to the genocide and horrible mistreatment of Palestinians by the Israelis. The republicans constantly claimed the horrors of the Hamas attack on the 7th but failed to mention the tens of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza and the West bank, about 19,000 of those are children. They talked up poor Israel trying desperately to survive and failed to hide their hate for Muslims while also failing to call out the anti-Semitism on their side. Remember these people support Nazis, and constantly claim George Soros a Jewish person who survived the Holocaust if funding the protesters and Hamas. Everything the republicans don’t like they claim that Soros is funding it. And their supporters buy it entirely. Hugs. Scottie

  1. The interesting thing is that the definition of Semite is “of, relating to, or constituting a subfamily of the Afro-Asiatic language family that includes Hebrew, Aramaic, Arabic, and Amharic“. ”a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.”

     In short, this is the same argument that …some people… have when someone is American but criticizes American actions. Calling someone out for going outside the bounds is not hate, it is not prejudice. Much like Suze said above, it is pure ad hominem logic fallacy (attack the person rather than the argument).

    1. Hi Randy. I find when people have no reasonable argument the only way they can try to blunt what someone is saying is to attack the person unfairly instead of the argument. How there are times when attacking a person for their actions is OK and with in bounds.

      This entire argument about the demonstrations / protests is to vilify any support for Palestinians and minimize any criticism of Israel. The Israeli lobby has more money that god and they use it as a club to buy politicians of both parties to support Israel. That lobby is responsible for funding any primary challenger against any democrat that dares speak ill of Israel. It is sad how much control they have over our politicians simply because of the incredible amount of money they spread around. For those supporting Israel fully and unconditionally they make it rain money, for those trying to restrict Israel and demand fair treatment of the Palestinians they fund every way to get them out of office or cause other politicians to turn against them.

  2. Semite is, as Blunders above points out, pretty much everyone over there and given the only real value in the bible, koran or torah are as 5,000 year documentation of one particular group of people ~ the Semites ~ refusal to get along with each other it’s pretty easy to be against them. All of them …

    1. Hi Ten Bears. Yes something the religious people refuse to see is that these holy books were written by regional political leaders / warlords and are more a testament of the geological politics of the time then they are the written words of an all knowing all powerful being. How many things did that all knowing all powerful being seem to not know that we do now. So many factual errors, so many changes in acceptable practices due to which warlord gained power. Yet the fervent religious people twist themselves into knots trying to pretend it makes sense when they don’t even know the history of that area in that time. Hugs. Scottie
