Reply #84: nothing excuses the racism and bigotry that is propagated against Arab and Palestinian people [View All]

[Douglas Carpenter]

by people such as the current Israeli Foreign Minister and half the cabinet of the current Israeli government - a government that has publicly ruled out any possibility of removing even one single settler or even halting settlement expansion and whose actions are making the two-state solution absolutely impossible.

You have not provided one single nonpartisan, neutral or unbiased source that the PA is notoriously anti-semitic. The non-partisan sources you provided have in fact shown just the opposite.

I don't doubt that many Palestinians do at times use the word Jews when they should the word Israelis anymore than anyone can deny that many Israelis use the words Arabs or Palestinians when they should use say the word of the specific group they are accusing. This is common in every conflict from the beginning of time that people at times use unfortunate language when they are in a state of conflict. But to see Palestinian or Arab anger against Israel as simply anti-semitism is intellectually dishonest to the extreme and is certainly an impediment to peace.


Again, I would encourage everyone to watch the video you linked to and read the two article you referenced in the links you provided:
