BOSTON – Opposite the New England Holocaust Memorial’s six imposing glass towers, up to 3,000 Israel supporters demonstrated support for the Jewish state in Boston Thursday.

Convened by more than 100 area synagogues and Jewish organizations, the event was the region’s largest pro-Israel gathering since the start of Operation Protective Edge on July 8. Free shuttle buses helped suburban families dodge the logistics of Boston traffic and large-scale construction at the rally site.

2. Which powerful Jew?

3. "If a politician fails to kiss the feet of powerful Jews in this country, they are toast"

It's a good thing there isn't any anti-semitism on DU.

4. Oh! was that anti-semitic....or just someones opinion...

5. What on earth makes you think that it's only one or the other?

Most bigotry is "someone's opinion"

6. It is possible to be both. nt

8. Do you think the statement I quoted was anti-semitic?

I'm genuinely not sure if the consensus would be that it is.

9. I thought it definitely was antiSemitic

And was happily surprised so did the jury
( I never alerted, better these things stand)
I never said it was antiSemitic because sometimes those posts get hidden by juries.

7. Someone could be of the opinion that blacks are inferior to whites

That person would be racist.

10. 3,000 people voicing support for unleashing carnage against civilians

But then in a world where you can get 5,000 people to show up in tricorns with teabags stapled to them in order to protest their own social security checks, who can be surprised? Ignorant assholes abound by the thousands, it seems.
