How to tell if you are an anti-Semite
email | unknown | unknown

Posted on 08/13/2006 11:32:43 AM PDT by thoughtomator

- If you wail and cry over Israel's treatment of Palestinians but are silent about the hundreds of thousands of blacks being systematically killed by the Muslim government of the Sudan, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you think that if Israel killing more of its enemies than it suffers casualties itself is disproportionate, in willful blindness to or ignorance of the fact that it is outnumbered massively by those enemies and those enemies have more than demonstrated their willingness to kill their own people, even their own children, in order to kill Jews, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you think the UN General Assembly with its 57 Muslim votes to one Jewish vote is a neutral arbiter on questions relating to Israel, you are anti-Semitic. If you invest the UN with moral authority on human rights, even though it has seated that very same currently genocide-engaged Sudan as the chair of the human rights commission, you are possibly anti-Semitic but more likely just a hypocrite.

- If you think Israel is illegally occupying the disputed territories yet have nothing to say about the wholesale takeover of Tibet by China and the ongoing replacement of Tibetans with Han Chinese, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you think Israel has to follow the letter of international law while terrorists get free shots with no accountability, you are anti-Semitic.

- If the only time you call for a ceasefire is when Israel is kicking its enemies' butts, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you mourn Arab deaths in the particular, but Israeli deaths only as a matter of being upset about casualties on both sides, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you blame Israel for the results of its enemies hiding among women and children, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you think Israel has a massive, imputedly dishonest propaganda program but make excuses for fraudulent and staged photographs intended to make Israeli behavior seem far more destructive than it really is, you are anti-Semitic. If you believe Reuters stories about Israel without skepticism, you are possibly anti-Semitic, but more likely just a naive fool.

- If you've never thought to question why the refugees of the 1948 war are the only ones in the entire world whom the UN has failed to repatriate in three generations, you are possibly anti-Semitic, possibly just ignorant.

- If you go on and on about the displaced Arabs who left of their own accord in 1948 but have nothing to say about the hundreds of thousands of Jews forcibly expelled from Arab nations, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you bring up the canard that the war waged upon Israel by its Muslim neighbors is about land yet have no explanation for why those very same neighbors have waged this very same war since before Israel occupied a square inch of the disputed territories, you are anti-Semitic. If you raise the "it's about land" lie without noting that Israel occupies a mere 0.02% of the Middle East and that Arabs have the other 99.98%, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you believe that there has ever been a nation called Palestine or that there is any ethnic or cultural difference between a Palestinian and a Syrian, Jordanian, or Egyptian, you are a grossly ignorant dupe, and possibly but not necessarily anti-Semitic.

- If you think that Israelis moving into the West Bank are colonialists, while the Muslim populations in Western countries trying to impose Sharia law are not, you are anti-Semitic.

- If you have ever compared Israel's policies to apartheid, you are anti-Semitic, and grossly insulting to those who actually did suffer apartheid.

- If you've ever compared Israel's policies to those of the Nazis, not only are you anti-Semitic but you are also a Holocaust denier.

- If you think that terrorists are caused by Israel's behavior and that there is no independent cultural force outside of Israel's control that is creating them, you are anti-Semitic, and suicidal to boot.

"We shouldn't give stupid people cover by labeling them with anything other than their gross stupidity."

And you shouldn't infer that anti-semitism doesn't exist, rather than give excuses or cover for them by saying they are all just stupid.

How to tell if you are an anti-Semite

I really hate the term Anti-Semite because of the way it gets twisted around to mean Someone who is against Semites instead of what it really means: A JEW HATER

FRmail me to be added or removed from this Judaic/pro-Israel/Russian Jewry ping list.

Warning! This is a high-volume ping list.

Here's another one:

- If you get pulled over for drunk driving and call the deputy a ****ing Jew because he is wearing a six-pointed badge, you might be a JEW HATER

Anti-Semetic = Liberal

Looking at just the Jewish populations of Israel and the U.S. and assuming that all the Israeli Jews are Conservative, then by your statement roughly 40% of Jews are anti-semitic which just does not sound right to me.

You'd be surprised at how many leftist Jews are secretly anti-Semitic... it's the "Jewish guilt" factor, a cultural trait from which we blame ourselves for anything that goes wrong. In moderation it is a positive force for self-improvement; in the extreme it manifests itself in airs of moral superiority as a means to mask self-loathing.

What do you call it when a minority claims to know what is best for the majority, against their wishes? I would call that belief in ones moral superiority.

And for the record, I do support Israel, and specifically Israels actions in the current crisis in Lebanon. I'm just not ready to label half the population of the U.S. as racists.

There are indeed people who practice antisemitism. But I mostly saw a list of ideology, which with some brief editing could be rewritten for any number of nations. I don't believe a Reuter's report about anything until I can independently verify the information - were they to report that the sun rose today, I'd still look outside. But those who swallow their reports aren't all antisemitic. A typical antisemitic reaction would be: What did the Jews in charge of Reuters not allow them to report in relation to this story - what are they hiding.

People love to throw around tags. I can support Israel's acts against terrorists while at the same time thinking that it's pretty communistic to live in a Kibbutz. Nothing in that makes me pro or anti anything.

It comes down to if they are Jewish by blood or Jewish by faith. I know many Jews who are reformed and don't believe in the God of the bible. They are very liberal in their beliefs and don't support Israel as a place for the believing Jew.

They want protection from their enemies by their own might, not from God.

Anti Semites used to be the people that hated Jews; now it is the people that the Jews hate.

I didn't realize that the Jews hated anybody. Wanting to survive doesn't equal hate.

"I think all the Germans are sausage makers"

Watch it, you're hitting close to home here, LOL! 1/2 of my family heritage is German, although they were bakers, not sausage makers, thank goodness. Who wants to watch sausage grinding, like our politicians do. Actually, I've suddenly developed an overwhelming taste for a good Metwurst. Will have to order one on the web. Thanks for the sausage trigger.

I'm not Jewish.

I think a Jewish presence in the middle east is a good thing because they are civilized.

They have an awesome military and I respect that.

Should they be allowed a "pass" because they have been dealt with poorly in the past?

No.

The Bible cannot grant property rights any more than can the Koran.

I hope they kick the crap out of Hezbollah but they are not immune from criticism simply by being Jews.

I don't see anyone suggestion that they are immune from criticism. The point is that the vast majority of the criticism of Israel is based on a standard that is applied to no one else, and most complaints are purposely formulated so that there is no way for Israel to satisfy them without being willing to roll over and die.
