12. You're arguing a straw-man, reading nonsense into the OP that isn't there.

The author is writing about the new global antisemitism, that's all. And it's not about the government of Israel either. Labor/Meretz could be in control and it wouldn't be any better out there. Your view of Israel and its supporters would be the same.

BTW, I disagree completely with Yeshoshua on his view of Jews.

In my discussions with Bravenak, I mentioned how 'zionists'....in the narrow-minded view of the antizionist BDS crowd...make up about 99 - 99.99% of world Jewry. Non- and post- Zionists included. They're all zionists to the haters. Only those Jews dedicated to Israel's destruction (less than 1%) are decent Jews that the bigots tolerate. The rest are racist zionists for apartheid, colonialism, ethnic cleansing, land-theft, and genocide. They are, after all, for 2 states. They believe Israel is legitimate. How dare they support Israel's existence as a Jewish state!

The anti-zionist bds movement couldn't possibly be more prejudiced against Jews. It's PC antisemitism against nearly every Jew on the planet (except for maybe a few thousand antizionist jews). Reminds me of GW Bush lecturing at a Jews4Jesus event this week. The hundreds or maybe thousand or so Jews from that movement are like antizionist Jews, holding the belief that all other Jews (more than 99%) are wrong. GW holds to that mentality, like Ann Coulter. You hold to the same antizionist bds mentality. All the Jews (Zionists) are wrong. And you're all obsessed.

WRT Jesus being Palestinian, we're talking blood libel. Same centuries old shit. After all, nearly 40% of Europe believes Israel is conducting a war of extermination. And what does that mean other than Jews are Nazis (where have we heard that one)? The victim is now the oppressor. The Jews are crucifying Jesus (Palestinians) all over again. That's how they see Israel, as the Jews. Let's cut the bullshit. So Palestinians are helpless, innocent victims, indigenous. Jews are bad, oppressive, racist colonizers and murderous thieves. There's only one solution to this, a final one, the end of Zionism, the Jewish state, where all Jews are the enemy.

It is interesting to see how the stereotype has changed oberliner Nov 2013 #1
Fascinating that 38% of Europe believes Israel is waging war of extermination vs. Palestinians. n/t shira Nov 2013 #2
