I’m not hear to talk about Palestine, Hezbollah, or Iran. I mean in general, objectively, it’s getting thrown around so much, for reasons that do not seem antisemetic in nature.

    It is a real world example of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf.”

    I think the sympathy capital stored away for the Jewish people generated by the atrocities of World War II has not only been cashed in, it’s been squandered on political buffoonery, bad wars, and worst of all, it’s been utilized to fuel a genocide which is as evil as what the Jewish people survived in Germany.

    I highly recommend The Hundred Years War on Palestine. .

    The current genocide issue predates WWII.

      But the Jewish people still deserve sympathy, right? You’re just concerned they’re not getting it.

      It’s not deserved only because of the Holocaust and the pogroms before it. It’s not like real anti-Semitism just stopped when anti-Zionism came into vogue.

        Where did I say they didn’t? This is the issue. ISRAEL IS NOT JUDAISM. Israel does not mean “Jewish.” No more than America is Christian. Stop this line of thinking.

          Where did I say you said that? I asked and then clarified what I thought your position was.

          In fact, you said nothing at all about Israel in your original comment. You seemed to imply that Jewish people had squandered the sympathy they had once earned.

          I gave you the benefit of the doubt and a chance to clarify, and you flipped out.
