ook so let me get this straight anti-semitic = criticising israels wrong doings? like they are above all laws and exempt from acting with morals
And even more to the point:Delegitimization and Antisemitism Is anti-Zionism different from antisemitism? Israel, as a democracy, is receptive to fair and legitimate criticism. However, all too often Israel is singled out and held up to standards not applied to any other state. Although valid criticism of Israel has absolutely no connection to antisemitism, some of the unreasonable condemnation has its roots in antisemitic attitudes, often disguised as "anti-Zionism." Just as in the past Jews were the scapegoat for many problems, today there are attempts to turn Israel into an international pariah."Antisemitism" is the name given to the form of racism practiced against the Jewish people. Though the literal interpretation of antisemitism would appear to denote hostility to all Semitic peoples, this is a fallacy. The term was originally coined in Germany in 1879 to describe the European anti-Jewish campaigns of that era, and it soon came to define the persecution or discrimination against Jews throughout the ages.Hatred of the Jewish people is an age-old phenomenon, traditionally associated with expressions of xenophobia and religious intolerance. Antisemitism has taken different forms and used various motifs throughout history. In modern times, it has been promoted by extreme nationalistic and even racist ideologies. Severe antisemitism exists in Arab countries today.Egyptian version (1994) of "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion" Egyptian version (2001) of antisemitic tract "The International Jew" Antisemitism reached its peak in the Holocaust. Over 6 million Jews (one third of the world's Jewish population) were brutally and systematically murdered during World War II. Modern antisemitism in Europe, after being repressed for decades, has erupted with renewed fury in recent years in a new form: "anti-Zionism," or hatred of the State of Israel. Zionism is the national liberation movement of the Jewish people - an expression of their legitimate aspiration to self-determination and national independence. The Zionist movement was founded to provide an ancient people with a sovereign state of its own, in its ancestral homeland. Israel is the modern political embodiment of this age-old dream. The goal of anti-Zionism is to undermine the legitimacy of Israel, thereby denying the Jewish people their place in the community of nations. Denigration of Zionism is therefore an attack on Israel's basic right to exist as a nation equal to all other nations, in violation of one of the fundamental principles of international law. Just as antisemitism denies Jews their rights as individuals in society, anti-Zionism attacks the Jewish people as a nation, on the international level. Similar to the use of "the Jew" as a scapegoat for many a society's problems, Israel has been singled out for disproportionate and one-sided condemnation in the international arena. Anti-Zionism is often manifested as attacks on Israel in the United Nations and other international forums. Over the years, many a meeting and event of the international community has been exploited as an opportunity to condemn Israel - no matter what the subject matter, no matter how tenuous the tie to the conflict in the Middle East. Moreover, it is no coincidence that the recent censure of Israel in international forums and the media has been accompanied by a sharp increase in antisemitic incidents in many parts of the world.As a nation dedicated to the principles of democracy, Israel believes that criticism, whether by other nations or our own people, is a powerful force for positive change. However, there is a clear distinction between legitimate calls for improvement and the attempt to delegitimize Israel by consistently singling it out and holding it up to standards not applied to other states. All this ignores the context in which Israel must strive to survive in the face of violent attacks against its citizens and, all too often, against its very existence.
can't be arsed to read all that
Quote from: JML - no vowels, disembowel your Colin Powell, throw in the towel on November 25, 2005, 02:42:37 AMI guess the EU is now anti-Semitic. Well, they are the ones who killed 6 million Jews last century.I think the reason Europe is so anti-Israel is because of the large Muslim population there. They don't want to enrage the Muslims and get a repeat of Madrid, London, and Paris.It is sad that the US is really Israel's only friend in the world.
They? The EU? What was the Muslim population of Europe in the 1930s? You've got to be fucking retarded to really think it has something to do with that. Do your research on Martin Luther and Hitler's adoption of his anti-Semitic ideals. Martin Luther wrote "The Jews and their Lies"... and Hitler considered him a great reformer in Mein Kampf. This shit goes way back... a good example is the Crusades... where Christians killed thousands of Jews and Muslims... People are anti-Israel the same way they were anti-Iraq with Saddam... for doing fucked up shit.The U.S. is Israel's friend... because they see Israel as a tool. Why did the U.S. turn away so many Jews during the Holocaust? Do you know about the historic anti-Semitism in the U.S.? What about the KKK?
I know you like to make generalizations because you're a bigot, but not all Europeans are anti-Semitic. Maybe your father and your Polish ancestors were, but not all Europeans are racists or bigots.It's funny how you chose to ignore the other parts of the post. You need to educate yourself, my little bitch.
By the way, the US didn't turn away Jews during the Holocaust, we opened up our country to them. You need to educate yourself in regards to history, son.
The Wagner-Rogers Bill was rejected by the U.S Congress in 1939 that would have admitted around 20,000 jewish refugee kids under the age of 14. That same year the S.S. St. Louis was turned down by the Cuba and U.S, that had 907 regugees
