I was making a very simple point.

[adam_az]

AND inconsistent.

[Cyber Liberty]

Who the eff asked you? You used to be so good at minding your own business, too.

[StolarStorm]

Fine. In the same vein I could say that "Israel wants to kill Americans" because of their use and support of Pollard ... knowing that intelligence 'leaks' may result in the death of field agents.

[adam_az]

SHOW ME THE THREADS

You are so offended by "anti-Gentile posts," show me some.

We are still waiting.

[adam_az]

Are you going to bring up the USS Liberty accident too?

Where are the posts?

[Stu Cohen]

Let's say that I am deficient at what is required.

Okay, but I really don't think anything is "required", do you?

Take it as you will. I predict you will call me "stupid", claim victory and dance a nice little jig.

Have missed a critical aspect of our dialog?

Why would I call you stupid? I have read nothing from you that would suggest such a thing. The fact that we hold differing opinions refelects nothing on intelligence, but merely differing perceptions. There is do victory or defeat in rationale discourse.

As for dancing, neither you nor anyone within my immediate proximity would like to see that. And I don't believe that I have ever done a jig. Lord of the Dance I am not.

Then, I'll know you're really a Democrat.

I can assure you that I am not a Democrat. Then again, neither am I a Republican. I find that neither party adequately addresses the issues that our country faces. When we cast off the shackles of a party line, I believe that we will find better solutions to our challenges.

[adam_az]

He's dancing the troll jig, rather than showing the examples of "anti-gentile" posts which so offend him.

[tictoc]

Pollard betrayed his country for cold hard cash and got what he deserved.

I must have said that at least half a dozen times on various threads in the past.

Now I don't bother visiting the Pollard threads anymore.

[Admin Moderator]

Cool it with the personal attacks.

[yonif]

However we keep seeing thread after thread after thread from yonif and others about the various evil Gentiles being bigoted toward Jews.

Please provide some evidence of the "thread after thread". It is true some of the posts deal with anti-Semitism, however, you must note that it is increasing around the world, and YES EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES.

[yonif]

Oh, and by the way, I see Powell as a traitor to the United States.

[adam_az]

Powell serves at Bushes pleasure.

Bush is a traitor to his own principles.

[adam_az]

"However we keep seeing thread after thread after thread from yonif and others about the various evil Gentiles being bigoted toward Jews."

There are posts of stories in which there are Gentiles who do bad things to Jews for the sole reason of their Jewishness, but I still challenge you to find any posts in which Yonif ("or others" is rather broad) makes "anti-Gentile" posts (you seem to think they are "increasing," and have yet to produce one.)

[SJackson]

For the record, I do not detect any "increasing" anti-semetism in this country. I will admit to not actively seeking it out, however.

Maybe it’s my take on the article, but I don’t think Fields is talking about mainstream American culture, other than elements of the far left. Note her example of Phyllis Chesler, an international leftist, who now identifies herself as “…an American and as a Jew who is concerned not only with justice for all but also with the survival of America and of the Jewish people”, in recognition of the fact that America suffers from a similar form of bigotry in much of the world as well. That there’s been an increase in anti-Semitism worldwide, of on the far left here and abroad, I think is undeniable.

[StolarStorm]

"YES EVEN IN THE UNITED STATES." You can find anything if you look hard enough. Gratefully as pointed out by several posters here, it is all one sided. Comments like 'America wants to kill Jews' and 'opposition to Israeli policy is anti-Jewish' isn't bigoted... because it is TRUE! /sarcasm hypocrites.

[Cyber Liberty]

Wait forever, because I didn't make any such reference. You're bitching up the wrong tree. I don't give a rat's patootie about anti-anything posts.

I just point out hypersensitivity when I see it. "Anti Gentile" stuff bothers me not a bit.
