Let's not call it anti-Semitism. It is actually Judeophobia - a belief that Jews might be up to something that's against everyone else's interest (not the 60 million Christian Zionists in the U.S. though).
One thing should be pointed out. Since we are products of a society that socializes us, what "passes" for anti-Semitism (or actually Judeophobia) is really an individual's subscribing to a segment of the "popular culture." Only when the socializing culture is different than the popular culture, like the Evangelical Christian culture, can people be socialized without adopting a demonization of Jews.
So, let's please stop using the label anti-Semite for individuals. A segment of the popular culture is anti-Semitic, since the popular culture is a knock-off from Europe (which was the birthplace of modern anti-Semitism). It is based on the simple belief that what is "good for the Jews" must be "bad for the Gentiles." It is a simple form of mathematical abstraction subscribed to by those that accept that segment of the popular culture.
Foofie, stop using the anti-semitic card. Rip it up and throw it away. Lets make peace.
There is no anti-Semitic "card" (a colloquial term that means nothing or everything).
What do you mean, "Let's make peace"? I was never at war with you. I just see that you have political positions that are 180 degrees opposite of mine, and a number of your views have to do with Zionists, Jews, or American Jews. Yet, many Americans have the same political goals. So, your posts seem to highlight only the preferences of many American Jews? Why not add all the Evangelicals to your postings?
I never called you an anti-Semite. That being said, so many people are alienated from American Jews that a post, highlighting the preferences of American Jews, will get some readers to decide that they should have an opposite position.
Simply put, if you stop making postings, highlighting Jews, and what they might be up to, you won't have to reply to my responses with the false accusation, "Foofie, stop using the anti-Semitic card."
Zippo, stop using the false accusation card!
P.S. Since you have a good idea of who I am, based on my postings, you are still a cypher. I don't know if you are a first generation born American with emotional baggage from some other part of the world, relative to ethnicity, religion, etc. I should therefore add, in the way of constructive criticism, Zippo stop using the anonymous posting card. Let your possible adversaries know who you are, so they may then know if you should be admired, ignored, held in contempt or pitied?
P.P.S. I would call no one an anti-Semite, since I believe it will likely be medicalized in the future as a mental illness (along with other forms of racist thinking).
