    you know what really annoys me

    Israël

    not because of the usual reasons, but rather that everytime a country says they dont support them, Israel blaims it on anti-semitism

    Proof? Israel is easily the most religiously diverse country in the Middle East. By saying that, you should be annoyed at most of the Arab/Muslim nations because every time something is done, they proclaim Islamophobia and that everything done by the West is anti-Islam.

    I submit to you a recent event that relates; Did you know about the ICC warrant for the President of Sudan? Did you know that Iran's Larijani claims that the warrant is a plot against Islam and all Muslims?

    Yes, i do know, but my country does not support Iran, so i am a little less critical about things like that.


    Proof? in most major cities in the world there were protests against the war in Gaza, the Israëli president said it was proof anti-semitism still exists

    I don't think you know because your country's support (or lack of) for Iran has nothing to do with the warrant and how the Islamic world treats it. So if you were less critical of things like that, you shouldn't be annoyed with Israel.

    The protests were under the guise of being Pro-Hamas which is a politically correct term for anti-Semitism. The stated goal of Hamas is the destruction and nullification of Israel as per their covenant.

    [​IMG]

    Anti-Semitism still exists and here are some points by Abraham H. Foxmam, that it is resurgent:

    1. The return of state sponsored anti-Semitism, in Iran and now Venezuela. And the tolerance of many regimes to anti-Semitism.

    2. The virulent rise and proliferation of anti-Semitism in the Muslim and Arab world to a level not seen since the years of the Nazis. Children being raised on a steady diet of anti-Semitism.

    3. Growing efforts in political, academia, religious and cultural entities to delegitimize the Jewish state.

    4. The resurgence – this time in mainstream institutions - of the classic of all canards of conspiracy of Jews acting only in their interests. That Jews are not loyal. That they pervert their countries. Disproportionate control of governments and media by Jews to further their interests frequently vs. the best interest of the societies they reside in. The Jews were dragging their countries into war. Now it is legitimate to question the loyalty of Jews.

    5. And finally the Internet. The communications revolution – so much a boon to information, communication and education – has spawned anti-Semitism. Yes this was an unintended consequence. The Internet has undeniably provided a super highway for hate and anti-Semitism which Joseph Goebbles could never have imagined. It is global and anonymous and travels the globe in nanoseconds, entering the home, the school, businesses and elsewhere without perspective, challenge or restraint and legitimizes on the screen hatred previously much less available and prevalent.

    Check out the diet fed to children:
    Exhibit 1
    Exhibit 2
    Exhibit 3

    1. i cant really respond to that, but they say it to everything, even the states that still support them

    2. I agree that is quite a bad thing, and i can understand why Israël would call comment from those nation anti-semitism, but not when a country that supports them in their effort says they shouldnt fire on the medicins that are being brought to the citiziens

    3. Most of those delegitimizations(love making up words) are not against the principle of a Jewish state, but rather against Israël itself, not the fact thta it is jewish

    4. I understand what you are saying, but i myself havent really noted this, which could be because i dont have many jewish friends




    I am awfull at saying stuff like this correctly, so i might have made a mistake somewhere which gives you a different idea of my opinion

    I have not read or seen any news regarding Israel calling supporting countries anti-Semitic. I have only read reports that anti-Semitism has grown.

    I have brought up this point before, Israel attacked the schools, hospitals, etc. etc. because they were being used as grounds to stage attacks. Even the U.N. finally realized this after many, many days of deliberation. Also Israel declared the coastal waters off of Gaza a closed military area of operation. A prime example of activists (with relief) trying to ignore Israel's orders is with Cynthia McKinney and the boat, Dignity.

    What?! Their wholesome hatred is due to the fact that they think Zionism is a conspiracy against all Muslims.

    Ignorance is bliss I guess. You do not need Jewish friends to see what is happening in the world to them! Bigotry is something that people are fighting to get rid of. Just FYI.

    Take no offense to my comments ijiff because I am only providing an opposing view. You are just giving me an outlet with which to respond.

    dont worry i take no offense,

    1. Then you havent seen the news reports with these responses

    2. I can understand that they fired at the schools and hospitals. I am specifically talking about a pure UN medical transport convoy.

    3. Sorry, you are probably talking about the scholars from muslim countries, while i am talking about western scholars.

    4. I see that it happens in the middle-east, but i havent really heard about any western countries, except a few nutjob immigrants who dont speak the language of the country they reside in, throwing stones at synagogue's. I believe you are referring to this and while i agree that it is troublesome, i see it rather as a sign that anti-semitists are now migrating to other countries, instead of an increased number of them


    how did this turn in a discussion about Israël?

    Really hard to predict something so astoundingly unbelievable and seemingly impossible.

    A Disturbing study which was released in Germany a few days ago highlights the issue of todays youth moving to a more racist nationalistic stance than their parents (Yes I do realize Germany has a history of this happening but they have total suppression of it over there...).
    http://www.dw-world.de/dw/article/0,,4106056,00.html

    The world recession will properly just make the situation even worse since the EU has already screwed over a few countries (see Ireland) and they are stuck between reducing protection of their agriculture to help the world economy or leaving protection up to stop riots.

    Anti-Semitism will increase since the anti-Semitic "bible" The Protocols of the Elders of Zion (See Forgery) says the Jews aim to create
    Economic depressions
    Undermine financial systems by foreign loans, creating national bankruptcy, destroying money markets and replacing them with government credit institutions
    Materialism

    Of course it is very interesting to note that it also states they aim for the
    Curtailment of civil liberties with the excuse of defeating the enemies of peace (Bush/war on terrorism is a Jewish plot to take over the world xP) note this was written in 19th century.

    Just for the record I don't believe anything which that book says (If that was what you were implying Willy). I was just pointing out how easy it is for the people with loony anti Semitic ideas to draw connections between Jews and worldwide disasters. I am impressed at how accurately those protocols predicted future world events though.
