Reply #18: Israel is Exclusive [View All]

[durutti]

thank you giving Jews the power to make people hate them.

Tell me, why does the Klan hate black poeple? Is it because they are shiftless?

Ah, distorting the argument. The only way Zionists know how to debate.

I didn't say that Muslim anti-Semitism was justified by Zionism. I said that Muslim anti-Semitism was far less prevalent prior to the rise of Zionism. Muslims and Arabs became more anti-Semitic in response to the suffering they've endured at the hands of Zionists.

Of course, the fact that certain behavior might encourage bigoted attitudes shouldn't discourage anyone from anything per se. But one of the state goals of Zionists is to save Jews from the scourge of anti-Semitism. Yet Zionism has increased anti-Semitism -- so obviously, Zionism hasn't worked.

Zionists claim that Jews will never be accepted in Gentile society, despite any individual initiative. This is a racist attitude. Zionists, not anti-Zionists, are the real self-hating Jews.

As far as an ethinically exclusive state, where did the Jews make one of those?

exclusive, adj.: Excluding or tending to exclude

Certainly, a state in which the vast majority of land cannot legally be sold to non-Jews, where city planning is conducted in such a way as to deliberately segregate non-Jews, where non-Jews must wait longer to earn their citizenship, where non-Jews are by and large excluded from the military and thus social services, where politicians openly advocate ethnic cleansing, where minorities are disproportionately impoverished, where whole villages that have existed for a century or more go unrecognized because of their inhabitants, where minorities get the worst schools and worst of the few services they get in the first place, and where a Jew who's never been to Palestine can "return" there, but an Arab who was born there cannot, qualifies as ethnically exclusive.
