My Favorite "Anti-Semite"

This comparison is both ridiculous and offensive. You are nothing like Bishop Tutu.

There is a major difference between legitimate criticism of the policies of the government of Israel-- and true Antisemitism involving a hatred of Jews.

Desmond Tutu is an example of the former. He is sympathizing with the Palestinian people, and critizing policies, without demonizing or attacking people due to their ethnicity.

The crap you spew is the opposite. You attack Jews based on their ethnicity. You imagine Jewish plots and look for evidence of sinister influence in any Jewish name or symbol.

You don't see Bishop Tutu spouting hate-inspired conspiracy theories, or counting the number of Jews in the US government.

This is a ridiculous claim.

"Minneapolis/St.Paul's City Pages just reported that members of the St Thomas Justice and Peace Studies program were thrilled when Bishop Tutu agreed to speak at the University" but administrators did a scientific survey of the Jews of Minneapolis, which included querying exactly one spokesperson for Minnesota's Jewish Community Relations Council and several rabbis who taught in a University program" and concluded that Tutu is bad for the Jews and should therefore be barred from campus."

ebrown_p, will not have the balls to criticize Jewish people. (gods chosen)

America has millions of "Israel can do no wrong" club members. Majority of them support the bombing of Iran, ethnic cleansing of palestinians and continuous occupation of Iraq. All for Israel's security. Bush will send our last soldier to fight and die for Israel.

Bush Says He Will Defend 'Our' Ally Israel

I don't have a problem of Bush wanting to defend Israel. Here's your rifle, Dubya, and here is your partachute.

But you and I both know that Dubya doesn't mean "he" will defend Israel, he means he will force OUR CHILDREN to go and die defending Israel, even in wars that Israel starts.

And that I have a problem with.

The fact that some Jews (and it always Jews with you) make the same foolish mistake that you do (confusing criticism of Israel with bigotry) is irrelevant.

What's odd about your contention is Israel has fought many wars all by themselves? Why now do you envision the U.S. being asked to fight in an Israeli war? Don't say Iraq is an Israeli war. I think that's a neoconservative war for maintaining the U.S. hegemony in the Middle East.

Unfortunately, I believe many people might see Israel under every rock, the same way Holocaust survivors might see a Nazi under every rock.

Why was the U.S. in WWII, Korea, Vietnam? Don't tell me Israel.

While there are people in the Israel Can Do No Wrong Club, why are there members in the Zionists are Manipulating Us club?

I believe, some are old fashioned anti-Semites; some are old fashioned Christians (Jews should wander the Earth for all time for rejecting Christ); some are concerned about anti-Christian feelings towards Christian communities in Moslem countries; some want to ingratiate their countries to the Arab oil producing countries; some feel the Palestinians are the underdogs, and side with the underdogs; some think it's just ever so fashionable to side with people whose skins are not Snow White; some feel that much of the pro-Israel Christian feelings come from the Evangelicals that are anthema to some other "Christians" (spitework perhaps); and some have a foreboding that one day all the U.S. Jews could go to Israel and then it might be hard to get a dental appointment.

Or, they can have other reasons. But, I do hope this concern about Zionism and the U.S. becomes less intrusive to your day's enjoyment.

P.S.: If you are concerned about the resumption of a draft, I personally think that will occur, and not because of Israel, but because of a much larger threat on the horizon in the later half of the 21st century.

Don't say Iraq is an Israeli war

In mid-1996, a policy paper prepared for then-Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a grand strategy for Israel in the Middle East. Entitled "A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm," it was written under the auspices of an Israeli think tank, the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies. Specifically, it called for an "effort [that] can focus on removing Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq, an important Israeli strategic objective in its own right..." [8]

How many A2Kers are members of the "Israel can do no wrong" club?

If someone broke into your house, killed your family and possessed your property/land, wouldn't you do the same?

The Israelis hope not to have to do this. That's the reason for the fence.
