A new poll by the Spanish government released on the eve of Rosh Hashanah in Madrid shows that one in three Spaniards is anti-Semitic, maintaining negative opinions about Jews. Another 46 percent had favorable views of Jews. One in nine Spaniards, the survey found, supports the statement that "Israel should disappear because it was established on Arab land." Another 77 percent disagree with the statement. The results of the study indicate that the major cause of the rise in anti-Semitic feelings is Israel's policy toward the Palestinians in the territories.

So?

3 out of 5 American Jews (the liberal ones) are anti-semitic, too.

Nailed it!

[Michel12]

Well, I am anti-Spain.

[Don Corleone]

Having spent a great deal of time in Spain I would say that is way way too low a figure.

[Las Vegas Ron]

Technically, Arabs are Semites too.

[hecht]

true. the term anti-semite is outdated and should be replaced

What would you guesstimate the number to be?

[Nachum]

Technically, Arabs are Semites too.

Which is why it is a mistake you use the term at all. "Jew-hatred" would be more accurate.

Isn’t Europe just wonderful. At least that is what the Liberals keep telling us.

Indeed, the left always comes up with clever words or phrases to mask the true definitions...i.e. gay = homo, choice = murder, the check is in the mail (okay, just threw that in for levity) etc.

He who controls the language controls the argument!

Thanks Nachum. Gee, where did Michelle and the kids go on one of the many taxpayer-funded vacations?

Thanks ;)

That’s because 1/3 of Spain, unfortunately including the current government, is radically left-wing and 100% on the side of the “Palestinians.” The leftist El Pais, the Spanish equivalent of the NY Times, is completely on the side of the Muslims and hates Jews. The whole problem is that the leftists control the intellectual life of Spain, just as they do here.

Let’s do a trade. The Jews get to keep Israel, but the Muslims get to have Spain back.

The same Muslims that want to reconquer Spain? I’ll bet the paper is on their side too.

[devere]

Sounds as though Spain is now a bit better than England.

I'm not anti Semitic but I really stay pissed off at the Jews who constantly embrace leftist causes. I can say the same about African Americans, and my own Native American relatives.

It makes no sense to fight your way out of oppression and tyranny and then vote yourself right back in again.

All the talk of fairness and equality means is that everyone will be oppressed and tyrannized fairly and equally.
