Do a google search on "Roy Cohn."

Second, you really need to read more carefully. I never said Finkelstien was an anti-Semite. As a matter of point, I didn't say anything about him, or the article. I was addressing your bizarre question whether Jews could be anti-Semites. As for your definitions, the anti-Semitism one is close. As for pointing out examples at DU, most are spirited away (deleted message). Check with the mods about all those "deleted messages." They are not all personal attacks.

Your definition of Zionism is the old, out-dated version and still isn't even close to correct. Since you continue to call Zionists racists, then we will not agree on this point...EVER! Incidentally, I don't confuse the two, you do. It mainly derives from your lack of understand the nuance of the term "Zionism."

Anti-Semitism exists on DU. It is one of the reasons so many topics about Jews and Israel are whisked into this room. The moderators in this room seem to understand the difference between "anti-Israel" and "anti-Semitic." It is not that the other mods are lacking, but some aren't as comfortable with it. Or do you think somehow that DU and the left are immune to anti-Semitism? That seems to be your inference.

Since you didn't understand the reference, Jewish anti-Semitism is simply anti-Semitism practiced by Jews! They fall into the same traps that non-Jews do and actively criticize Jews, often hiding their own identity. Since this seems to be a difficult thing for you to wrap your mind around, think of homophobic gays. Surely, you know they exist?

And, do not imply I am a racist again!
