But one remark which was recently posted openly (on FR) to me stands out in my mind: "I value the lives of American servicemen much more than innocent Israelis who die from terrorism."

My open response in that forum was that the remark was racist. It was not American. It was not Israeli. It was plainly anti-Semitic.

The man is an idiot. The poster he considers anti-semitic might equally well value American soldiers' lives over the lives of Brits, Argentinians, and Rwandans, indeed over anybody not American.

I agree. Having been a member of FreeRepublic for many years I can say for certain that the vast majority of Freepers are intelligent, honest, brave and respect other races and religions.

I didn't get that either. If an Israeli, Brit, or anybody else said they value the lives of their troops more than those of American civilians, I wouldn't say that's an anti-American attitude.

Mr. Cohen's thesis, and one he seems intent on making the world see, is that everyone who is not Jewish and some who are, are Anti-Semitic and desire in their hearts that all Jews should be "taken care of." It is an ultimately hopeless understanding of existence.
