But the anti-Semitism expressed BY (not against) Likud and their allies in AIPAC and the Republican (mostly) Party will rebound.
Jewish people should know better, maybe the “history” taught this newest generation leaves out every part of the Holocaust preceding the attacks on Jews.
Because the Jewish victims weren’t the first victims. They might have been Uncle Alfie’s (Adolf) major priority, but he had to build up to get to the point where he could have a Major Ethnic Group imprisoned.
His first major victims were members of his own Party, The SturmAbteilung Brownshirt Stormtroopers.
Yeah, they deserved condemnation.
But the way it was handled, including building them up and setting them up for the Coup, departs from all standards of decency.
Never mind “Laws”.
Other groups who preceded Jews into the Camps, And I bet the Racist, Fascist Bastardists in AIPAC and the Republican Party strongly support these actions and Hate them just as much as they do Arabs and Jews…
Communists
Homosexuals
Mentally Ill
Polio Victims (at the time Polio was just as incurable as AIDS is today)
Gypsies
Seventh Day Adventists, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses
By demonizing Arabs in general and Palestinians in particular, AIPAC and the Republicans are setting the stage.
The Play has been performed for sold out audiences across history, but we’re witnessing Act One, Scene 2… again.
Anti-semitism is “discrimination against or prejudice or hostility toward Jews.” The Likud Party, the Republican Party, and AIPAC do not advocate anti-semitism.
Anti-Semitism is the persecution, killing, imprisoning, torturing ANY Semitic People or the advocacy of such crimes, based on their ethnicity.
That includes the Arabs and the Palestinians, who are a very heterogeneous group which includes Hebrews of the Israelite tribes.
As to the notion expressed in another thread that the ten tribes suddenly vanished, never to be found, the books of Jeremiah, Nehemiah, Ezra, Maccabees, Babylonian, Persian, Macedonian and Roman chronicles, Josephus, and the gospels say entirely different.
Since the first four are widely used as a historic base for the formation of the Modern State of Israel, along with Joel, Habakkuk, Haggai and Amos, which also mention the Samaritan ISRAELITE peoples, that makes Hebrew-on-Hebrew violence such as Likud and AIPAC and the RepubliKlan Party not only advocate but enable through allocation of government and non-governmental resources…
That IS anti-Semitism and every bit as irrationally racist as the Nazi attacks which occurred during the Third Reich and for centuries before and the intervening decades.
And every bit as murderous.
Murder begets more murder.
The biggest factor in that is people, such as yourself, refusing to acknowledge not only the Common Hebrew or Other family ties of those who you advocate the continued suppression, repression and murder thereof,
But also their basic Common Humanity.
The most effective resistance to such an attitude is the constant re-statement of condemnation for Racism in all its ugly forms and Murder in all its forms.
Your pretense that such racism and Murder aren’t serious issues or not central to the discussion only fuels the notion of Vengeance and the continuance of the cycle of Murder.
It’s gone on for 3700+ years, don’t you think you should try to find a way to ease people out of that cycle?
Rather than advocating more Racist Murder…
And trying to detract from and defame those of us who actually ARE using the only effective method of breaking that cycle.
Anti-semitism is “discrimination against or prejudice or hostility toward Jews.” The Likud Party, the Republican Party, and AIPAC do not advocate anti-semitism.
And I guess Don would call anti-simianism to be only if you hate Homo sapiens? Don, you are so cute when you go all pedantic like!
