This crapola of innocent civilians being killed is just that crapola.

When Israel does go to the ground they should issue the following statement.

We are coming, if you are a civilian you should evacuate asap, otherwise you will be considered the enemy!

“those Palestinians who have resorted to necessary killing have been right to try to free their people, and those who have killed themselves in the cause of their people have indeed sanctified themselves.”

Moonbat logic, that is.

The important finding here is not that anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism are essentially identical phenomena - that surprises no one.

What is slightly more interesting is that it is clearly skewed to the left of the political spectrum - which stands to reason, since all Leftism derives ultimately from a hatred of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

But what is most interesting is that genteel anti-Semitism is more pronounced in journalism, higher education and politics than in other fields of endeavor.

This basically means that the information elites - those members of society whose vocation is to inform, teach and persuade - are preaching anti-Semitism and their audience, students and constituents are not really buying it.

This also makes sense - these elites consist of people who are obsessed with seeking approval and influence for themselves and their ideas. The very existence of the Jewish people and the truth which God vouchsafed to them throws the tawdriness and inadequacy of their highfalutin notions into sharp relief.

The rising prominence of Islam is symbiotic - the opinion elites sense that Islam and their own "cultured" Left share common enemies. Islam gives them vicarious pleasure - it is the id to their ego.

Muslims say and do the things they wish they could but which politeness says they can't.

Reciprocally, the opinion elites have resources, breeding and access to the West's structures of power which Muslims want but lack the discipline to obtain.

Each side uses the other, the Leftist thinking of the Muslim: "He'll come around to my way of thinking eventually" and the Muslim thinking of the Leftist: "I will eventually outgrow my need for him and behead him, unless he converts."

......believed that “Jews don’t care what happens to anyone but their own kind,” “Jews have a lot of irritating faults,” and “Jews are more willing than others to use shady practices to get what they want.”

Sounds to me like nazism is alive and well over there...

Not everyone who is anti-Israel is anti-Jewish . . . but every Jew-hater is anti-Israel.

There's no difference between the two. It is simple sophistry and when Israel's enemies claim they're only opposed to "Zionism," they really mean "The Jew." Nothing has changed; its the old anti-semitic wine poured into a new bottle. But its still the same wine and the same Jew-hatred we've witnessed throughout history.

the statement by Abu Ted Honderich Thirdriech, Emeritus Grote GrotieToTheMax Professor of the Philosophy of Mindlessness and Illogic at University College London, that “those Palestinians who have resorted to necessary killing have been right to try to free their people, and those who have killed themselves in the cause of their people have indeed sanctified themselves,”

We can be sure he wasn't talking about those who were resisting Ham-@ss.

I'm normally opposed to "studies" that waste valuable time and resources to "discover" things that a third grader has known for years. In this case, I applaud it; whatever it cost, it's worth it just to see it acknowledged SOMEWHERE that rampant anti-Semitism is alive, well, and growing like a weed.
