Its really hilarious how someone who is against Israel's government
and their political decisions are automatically labeled an
Anti-Semitic. I read absolutely "no hate speech" in there directed
towards the Jewish faith. He's against what the Israeli government is
doing to the Palestinians, and I'm against what they are doing to the
people's of the Gaza Strip. But, I'm not against their religion, I'm
against their government.
Oh, but because of a man-made book pieced together in Babylon and
later the Council of Nissa, from scraps of ancient Canaanite mythology
texts and centuries of word-of-mouth folklore, they're held up on a
higher pedestal than everyone else. The Israeli government is allowed
to get away with committing acts which would otherwise prompt the UN
to call for sanctions and fierce military action.
I grew up around Jewish people, though I'm not Jewish myself, one of
our neighbors was a Rabi and he was the nicest person you could ever
meet. I have nothing at all against the Israeli people. What I am
against is their government. In fact, I'm very afraid for the Jewish
people because of what their government is doing.
The Israeli people should take a cue from Libya and Egypt and take
their government back from those who would drag them down into war.
