Thread: The State Dept. "Anti-Semitism on the Rise"

  1. #1

    The State Dept. "Anti-Semitism on the Rise"

    "The distinguishing feature of the new anti-Semitism is criticism of Zionism or Israeli policy that -- whether intentionally or unintentionally -- has the effect of promoting prejudice against all Jews by demonizing Israel and Israelis and attributing Israel's perceived faults to its Jewish character," it said.

    This was common throughout the Middle East and in Muslim communities in Europe, but was even encouraged by some activity at the United Nations, the report said.

    Various U.N. agencies are asked each year to investigate what are often "sensationalized reports of alleged atrocities and other violations of human rights by Israel," the document said.

    Such unremitting criticism of Israel "intentionally or not encourages anti-Semitism." This hostility can translate into physical violence, as in the surge in anti-Semitic incidents worldwide during the 2006 war between Israel and the Shi'ite Muslim group Hezbollah, the report said.
    in short... according to the state department... criticism of the israeli (state) regime is "the new anti-semitism."

    -and criticism of the president is unamerican (in times of war, or whatever).

    sorta reminds me of the california ruling against homeschoolers... something about "loyalty to state."

    Anti-Muslimism is acceptable behavior. A bit inconsistent if you ask me.

    *nothing to see here, look the other way.

    I wonder if criticizing Iran is racist against arabs or criticizing Venesuela is racist against hispanics.

    This is so rediculous that it borders on absurd. Saying people who criticize another country are doing so because they are racists? In that case, you can't say anything about anyone. France, Russia, etc etc are off the table.

    I have friends who are Jewish, and don't consider myself to be anti anything because of race, but Israel is heavy handed (to say the least) and there is no way around that. I'm not even anti-zionist, because I could really care less if individuals want to move to a place where they are probably going to get blown up because they think its their ancestrial homeland. More power to them. Just don't take my tax money to pay for it and don't send my brothers and sisters in the military over there to die for it.

    I don't think that is unreasonable. I would say the same thing about England if Ireland was to start a war to secede from them, and my mom was born there... its not our problem or responsibility to fight other peoples fights, or to give them money to do so.

    state dept., "criticism of the 'government,' empire or (sub religion or w/e) is the new 'anti-(substitute ism)' and has the effect of promoting prejudice against all (sub collective) by demonizing (sub state) and (sub constituency) and attributing (sub state)'s perceived faults to its (sub collectivist broad-brushed generalization)."

    sub "american" for state and "christianity" for religion.... would the public tolerate this sorta thing coming out of the state department?

    Not weighing too much in on the issue, but i teach sunday school to some highschool students. About a year ago they all started using racial slurs against jews out of nowhere.

    probably from southpark though, none of them follow the news so they wouldn't have an opinion on israel/palestine.

    Anti-Israeli sentiments rise worldwide

    They have learned their lesson. If they let anything anti Jewish spread people might think that it is ok to criticize Jews and it could show ball from there. Contain while it is nothing.

    Simple. AIPAC's new defense is innoculation--a mental vaccine. Tell those who rely on fuzzy logic that any criticism of Israel is encoded anti-semitism and they won't listen to it, no matter how logical. This is how Israel and it's lobbies have operated since the beginning. The Nazis handed them the Holocaust, and Israel's made lemonade of it ever since.

    Occupied Jerusalem: 3 October, 2001 (IAP) -- According to Israel radio (in Hebrew) Kol Yisrael, [Shimon] Peres warned [Ariel] Sharon Wednesday that refusing to heed incessant American requests for a cease-fire with the Palestinians would endanger Israeli interests and "turn the US against us."

    At this point, a furious Sharon reportedly turned toward Peres, saying "every time we do something you tell me Americans will do this and will do that. I want to tell you something very clear, don't worry about American pressure on Israel, we, the Jewish people control America, and the Americans know it."

    The radio said Peres and other cabinet ministers warned Sharon against saying what he said in public because "it would cause us a public relations disaster."

    Agreed. I've always thought that this whole confusion goes further than the Nazis, though. Throughout European history, Jews were discriminated against plenty. So much so, that when Hitler and Co. started their ghettoization of Jews, a lot of Europeans and Americans applauded. Of course, when the whole genocide was revealed, a lot of people realized that their indifference helped to put Jews in that position and that Hey! Racism might be wrong! How did they reflect this new revalation? By deciding to treat people different than them as equals? Nah, we'll just help them get their own country to y'know, smooth things over. And so it has been since then. That guilt has blurred the line between criticism and antisemitism so much that they've become indistinguishable. Think of it as racism's long range blowback.
    Best. Advice. Ever.

    It is okay to criticize Jews. Shame on you for defending this piece of $#@! statement. Even if I did support 'containment of anti-semitism' the government would be the last thing I'd want carrying it out.

    i believe that the israelis should have they're land, not because WE say so though, but because they own that land, it is for the jews. i dont think we should be helping them though, because they killed jesus, and that's the worst sin...

    no, the land does not belong to them. it was promised to them by God, but they got it from Zionism, Inc., that was established in 1897 by Herzl. Zionists are just a political non-profit corporation - not God. accepting the land from the beast and not from God and before arrival of Messiah (Jesus) is called worshiping the Beast.

    Actually, England promised the jews that they could have the holy land in return for bringing the USA into WWII. The English had no right to do that, but you see how far rights got the palestinians.

    no, USA got into the war by itself on purpose, by applying heavy economic sanctions against Japan and provoking japanese to attack.

    KOL NIDRE




    "All vows, oaths, promises, engagements, and swearing, which beginning this day of reconciliation til the next day of reconciliation (one year) we intend to vow, promise, swear, and bind ourselves to fulfill, we repent of beforehand; let them be illegalized, acquitted, annihilated, abolished, valueless, unimportant. Our vows shall be no vows, and our oaths no oaths at all." Schulc,han Aruch, Edit. I, 136.

    (This is known as the KOL NIDRE (All Oaths) OATH. It is sung as a chant each Yom Kippur, Jewish New Year Service (Sept. 17] and absolves a Jew from any promises he makes during the year." How can one trust a Jewish judge, or a Jewish politician, who takes an oath to protect the Constitution of the United States, when we KNOW he takes this religious oath which allows him to break his promise to the American people?)
