    Careful now you don't want to make a comment about the "jew hating left"or you'll get a weeks holiday from after hours like I did on the other thread!
    But the left don't all hate Jews. And much of the right hate them. I'm pretty sure the right hating Jews had some pretty serious consequences approximately 75 years ago.

    It's cool and edgy for far right-wingers to hate Jews too. They don't know why - but it's the thing to do.

    Saying critics of the Israeli military = automatically anti-semitic... it has been well established that this is utter tripe. As bad as saying anyone who's critical of Islamic fundamentalism is a racist or nazi (also tripe).

    Then again you did thank a post stating:
    "the anti semitic jew hating main stream media will portray this nazi scumbag **** as a hero.

    And boards mentally ill leftist twats will clap along .

    disgusting" from the same person who said "She is a terrorist scumbag" (no comment of course on the soldier shooting a kid).

    I honestly recommend not viewing things in terms of just one way or the other way/with us or against us... and considering the variety of nuance in between.

    This Israel?

    I can post quotes too, this is one I'm sure you're familiar with as it was in the Vice article you posted.

    Saif is wondering what would happen if his homosexuality was made public. As a gay guy in the Palestinian West Bank, such information could see him murdered. While his sexuality remains hidden from his direct family, Saif said local Palestinian Authority police are aware and keep files on him and other homosexuals, blackmailing them into working as spies and informants.

    Let it go Odhinn, when Palestine holds their first gay pride, as is the norm in Tel Aviv, we can start comparing them to Israel

    It really is.

    Well I don't believe in hating Israel, but anyone with sense would recognise that its government and military go way overboard in punishing innocent people. This can easily be seen without being a shinner, an anti semitic, an apologist for Islamic fundamentalism, but "must not share the same opinion as any of them!" :D
    I don’t understand the love of Israel from the deranged right.
    They've changed their tune all right. ;)
    Think it just comes from being anti Islam (not that I have a problem with that when it comes to extremism) - the enemy of my enemy is my friend kinda thing.

    No matter how contradictory certain positions are, so long as they are in line with being on the right or left, that's the most important thing.

    It is , its tribal.

    Look at himself. He see's Palestinians as just Muslims meaning he has to dehumanize, because's him and his ilk have thought themselves that this is a rational way to think( ie. go through the is Muslim right for Ireland thread)

    How can anyone not be critical of Netanyahu and his governments actions. There is dissent in Israeli. It's only going to grow.

    And pretending that criticism is only due to anti semitism, a kid slapping a soldier being referred to as scum and a terrorist (now I agree she shouldn't have done it, but those descriptions are hysterical, and of course no mention of what the soldier was doing to provoke such a retaliation). A kind of madness takes over really.

    I think I had a one-night stand with that woman on the right. We were knocking back pints in Grogans on a Tuesday night and then I woke up next to her hungover to bits.

    That was the face I remember when she saw the poster of me, naked hugging C3PO on the bedroom wall, with my penis wrapped in gold tinsel.

    Because she's Muslim. She's scum, shes a terrorist. She deserves it.

    Dehumanization.

    This is usually based off sustained propaganda. People buy into it. Before they know it, there actively championing the massacre of innocents based solely off their religion.

    Its scary all right.

    People who accept and defend the Israeli military killing innocent people (and object to people being critical of this) - well I don't know for certain but can you not see why this would be viewed as an anti muslim stance? Think about the seriousness of it - actually defending the killing and other mistreatment of innocent people... what could be the justification for that?

    Whereas just being critical of the above - because it's a pretty standard thing to be critical of, how is there grounds for describing this as anti semitism? Of course it isn't. I suspect the anti semitism catcall is just thrown out there by people who need something, however straw-clutching, to make them feel better about what they're defending.

    I'll answer your question right after you post a quote by anyone here doing just that... I'll skip to it, you can't, because not one person here has defended the killing of innocent Palestinians, but claiming all supporters of Israel only do so because they hate Muslims is just as imbecilic as claiming all critics of Israel do so because they hate Jews.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,845 ✭✭✭timthumbni


    So a person slaps a member of the security forces in the face and gets jailed. Where is the story here. That could and would happen in any country in the world. Assaulting a member of the police/army is a serious offence.

    But people will not hear a word said against the Israeli military's tactics on Palestinians - so much so, that they resort to calling justified criticism of this anti semitism, one person said it was mental illness and nazi! They are more bothered by a kid doing something stupid but ultimately harmless in anger rather than another kid being shot by a grown man. How is that not being defensive of, or at least accepting of, the Israeli military's excessive force? And why be so accepting of it? It isn't unreasonable to suspect that the (or a) reason must be because Palestinians are muslims. Give me another reason why. Israel having a right to defend itself - well I agree with that but not with how crazily overboard it goes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,489 ✭✭✭SnakePlissken

    Well I'm heartbroken, that one as demonstrably as inteligent, witty, well travelled, and not at all anti-Semitic doesn't like me is devastating. But this thread isn't about me or you so how about we get back to discussing the topic at hand rather than letting me know how dissapointed you are with me.

    He won't answer the question because;

    (A) He has to admit, the actions of blackmailing a gay person for their sexuality is wrong. That would be critical of the IDF.
    (B) He has to admit that a Palestinian is a an actual human being. That deserves to be treated not like that.

    A champion of gay rights he is:pac:

    Simple question to answer, he of course wont.

    I wasn't referring to you specifically but my point still stands - there are folk who are awful upset by abortion apparently but kids being killed in Palestine or Syria or Burma? Not a bother.

    I'm similar to you in that I can't be pigeonholed politically, but there are folk who are weirdly defensive of Israel policy on Palestine because if they weren't, they'd be agreeing with the left, instead of just seeing blatant mistreatment for what it is. Same as "liberals" not criticising, say, the child abuse rings in Britain, because that would be sharing a view with the right.

    As with every thread you make yourself known in, you cannot debate with any maturity or intelligence, not once have you ever contributed any links or sources to support your side of an argument, your modus operandi is to personally attack those with differing opinions to yourself, it's pathethic, it's childish, it's reason enough for me to add you to ignore.

    There are you are again.

    How did you become so full of hatred. Why?.

    Where did you learn that dehumanization is good thing?.

    You still haven't grasped the simple concept that being critical of Netanhyu and his governments action isn't antisemitism.

    If that's all you've got as a defense for your bigotry. Your standing on nothing. How did you become like this?.

    I think it's the wider context where the "security forces" are a military arm of an oppressing power.
