Netanyahu: Iran a threat to the world.
- Thread starter Danthus
- Start date
it's thinly-veiled anti-semitism, yes. Paris is rarely get a mention? Not to mention the anti-semitism jews face everyday, their virulent hatred by muslims and the left, etc.
As the only democracy in the region... interesting.
So criticizing Israel is simply off limits.
No it's not. I have an abiding respect for the Israeli people, most are welcoming and open people. What I don't have is a respect for Likud and its Zionism or foreign and internal policies with regard to settlements and its Arab populations. There is a difference, a spectacularly large one, between being anti Semitic and being anti Zionist.
It crazy to think that everyone who is left leaning (I'm not, I'm a centerust) is anti Semitic, the same as believing anyone who is Muslim or criticises Israeli actions regarding Palestine are anti Semitic...that is just buying into the hyperbole nonsense that Likud want you believe. Give that far right groups in Europe and the U.S. are generally anti Semitic , what your saying is that everyone is anti Semitic unless they agree with Netanyahu.
Which is ridiculous.
Simply being a democracy doesn't mean that the elected government is automatically to be supported in everything they do. Particularly in democracies such as Israel where there is a lot of under representation and rarely, if ever a majority voting block. The whole Jewish identity promulgated by Likud is also damaging Israeli Democracy and the treatment of its citizens and those it controls.

A secular democracy with equal right for all peoples within its borders or a two state solution are the only reasonable solutions here, obviously each has significant hurdles...Netanyahu and his parties policy's a significant hurdle to both.

Nope, you can criticise it all you like... doesn't change the motivation behind though.
Anyway, back to your muslim love-fest.
was germany a democracy when Hitler came into power ?
couldn't be too long before you pop up.
Haha!
I'm not anti-Semitic though. Just not a fan of Likud.
indeed, a very weak one, though, and one with no real democratic foundation or firm beliefs in it, be that from the populace or those reigning.
You're not really saying Bibi=Hitler, right? Or treatment of Palestinians=Jews during holocaust.

muslim love-fest .....i'm not a fan of religion but that doesn't make me blind to injustice.
You know, I tend to believe you, however your stern defines of all things muslims makes you suspicious.

How do you know what people's motivations are, can you peer into there hearts?
Most people say it in there posts.
Unless you want to trust nobody and in that case why should any one trust your motives?

I am critical of Muslims ideologues as well when the context of the discussion warrants it. Often I add much needed balance that is all. I have no time for Saudi Wahhabism or Salafism for example, and argue with certain posters about that quite regularly. Ask craterloads, I can be just a vehement in my attacks on muslim ideologies as I can in their defence..context is important.

True, standing up for justice and honour are strong motivators.

Anyway, back to your Jew love-fest. (Here I'll shuffle, oh surprise its a anti Semitic card. Use it wisely
)No Hitler was probably a lot more honest about his intentions
you mentioned Israel as a democracy...almost as a shining example in the region.
Germany was a democracy when Hitler came to power.....should Israelies look upto Germany and Hitler as shining examples ?
