But we are more afraid of the "anti-semite" label than of any other words on earth. That prevents us from doing what is right and even upright for ourselves.
Why? There was nothing anti-Semitic in post 9.
If you want to criticize Israel or out policy towards that country --- fine, as long as you are fair.
You are upset about the foreign aid? Fine. Then be upset about our aid to Europe for 50 years. Starting with Marshal Plan. Lend lease. Our troops there. And the fact that we spent 50% more than the Europeans on NATO. That dwarfs our aid to Israel.
If you are upset equally about all of the above --- you are not prejudiced and nobody will call you "anti-Semite."
This is very simple really. If you are upset about ALL of our open borders, you are not a racist. But if you are upset only about our southern border --- that one can suspect you of being prejudiced. Simple, really.

So right you are.
I don't know where all this will lead us, but we are what I call in their fourth phase. Phase 1 was, and continues to be, control of history and revisionism, ie past history. Phase 2 is the control of the present by controlling the written word. Phase 3 control of personal speech through political correctness (aka fear and intimidation). The current phase is an outright control of the thought process. Sounds very Orwellian, I know, but that's the reality. I expect theit ultimate phase is to turn us into some kind of humanoids or automatons in which all critical thinking will be drained from our minds and we'll be acting like machines at their mere command.
