I’ve said it many times and only a few with Horribly Weak arguments disagreed.
Anti Israel is Antisemitic.
Period.
He makes a good point using Italy as an example.
If someone kept CONSTANTLY telling me how terrible Italy is, after a while I would come to think they just hated Italians.
And then they wouldn’t come home for dinner one night :)
Something about this sentence structure distressed's me so I started nosing about in the definitions of assonance, consonants, and vowel harmony and remain nearly as ignorant as before the excursion into such arcane (for me) research.
I think the repetition of the vowel sounds in "ethnically" and "ethically" are examples of vowel harmony although they might be examples of assonance. I leave it to the fine mind of Firebrand to educate me about all this, as I know she can.
On reflection, it is clear that what bothers me about the sentence structure is the attachment in immediate vicinity of the word "ethically" with the word "leftist." I think the term "oxymoronic" better fits than the three I have been agonizing over.
Otherwise, I think Dennis Prager is, as always, on the mark.
Many are largely secular, and have replaced religious faith with a very, very misguided belief in secular intellectualism, which is not all that intellectual. Many are more embracing of Marxism as an ‘achievement’ of an ethnic Jew than they are of the profound Jewish history of faith and the Judaic roots of monotheism.
It's not just American Jews who are following this path of secular intellectualism, and it is replacing or at least invading the faith of many in America.
To me, this secular idea that faith is simplistic, outdated, and can be superseded by a pursuit of knowledge and ‘intellectual’ thought is just another instance in human history in which dogma and arrogance leads away from truth. It's a bit like a current day replication of the hubris depicted in Migdal Bavel, the Tower of Babel.
Taking a page from Hitler. The Nazis would always depict Jews as dogs, pigs etc. That cartoon is disgusting.
“if truth mattered to the left, there would be no left.”
Dennis Prager brilliance. Sheer wisdom and brilliance.
In any case, the Slimes cartoon doesn't phase me, as a jew, because the Slimes is like an annoying fly in the room. It occasionally flies by my ear, with a slight buzzing sound, and then dissapears. Until the next time it buzzes by. Not worth my effort to even think about SLimes.
Feh!
With the exception of Israel, this is why I really dont care what happens to most Jews.
Has Prager taken a poll of “most Jews”? No? Then how does he know this? Sounds like more bullsh*t to me.
that people have been desensitized to its inherent bigotry
We are given race hoaxes to keep the horses alarmed, but even horses get desensitized. PC keeps us in a perpetual state of crisis, devoid of any horse sense.
