Oh my.
This by the way is from the Jewish (religion) group, not the Israel/terrorist forum.

Yet another fine DU"progressive" : "Screw Israel...****ing whiners."
And of course this is perfectly OK on DU. (Cue predictable response if they were to be challenged: "But, but, I'm not an anti-Semite")

1. Another from the same thread
"he is supposed to be representing the people of his district in Illinois, NOT the citizens of Israel.."
Same crap you'd see out of the John Birch Society once upon a time, and now it's acceptable as long as you claim to be a progressive...
Let's face it, Skinner will never stop this garbage, and much of the left in general is in agreement with this crap too, not just DU. I personally just severed a 40 year friendship with someone who told me he sees no difference between Gaza and the Warsaw ghetto. We're on our own now. Once upon a time liberal/progressives stood up to this stuff, now they gleefully propagate it.
I'm sick to my stomach at the moment. I'll NEVER become a right winger and I consider them as despicable as I always have,in fact more so as each day passes with each new outrage against the poor, women, etc... but increasingly wonder about my place ,or if I even have one, among the left either.

2. it's frustrating that's for sure.
What kills me is that progressives think this kind of outrageous rhetoric actually helps the Palestinians. It doesn't, it makes a permanent solution less likely.

3. Do settlements make a permanent solution
more likely? How about bulldozing Palestinian olive groves or cutting off Palestian water supplies?

4. see thats exactly what im talking about
The truth is that israel give the pa more water than required, and there are realistic solutions to the settlements and permit issues.
The Palestinians will get their state when they accept the reality of israel. At this point it's all on them, cheerleading for them changes nothing.

5. I'm not cheerleading for anyone
I'm just fed up with both sides. The Palestinians could have had peace long ago if they'd wanted it. In response, the Israelis are busily creating an apartheid state, which seems unlikely to lead to a solution. Fortress Israel is only viable with continuing financial support and security guarantees from America. That has continued for almost 70 years, but nations change and nothing last forever.
<<<fed up with only one side.

response to Davey's deleted comment, above
7. A reminder that this is the Jewish group, not I/P.
Discussions revolving around anti-Semitism, including its use in anti-Israel rhetoric is permissible. Discussing the "evils" of Israel or Jews is not welcome here.

8. You're right
I'll butt out. My apologies.

9. No apologies needed. You are welcome to have discussions here, just I/P is out.
Here's the SOP: Discuss Judaism's beliefs, share faith experiences, discuss anti-Semitism, post prayer requests, discuss Jewish faith, traditions, religious heroes, holidays, etc.
Thanks.

It always amazes and puzzles me that American Jews are so loyal to the dem party even though they barely (sometimes) hide their contempt for Israel and a desire to see the nation wiped off the map.

What a messed up primitive.
One of the most noticeable things about liberals/progressives is how much they hate Jews. One of the most noticeable things about Democrat Jews is how wrong they are about conservatives.
This dimwit doesn't stand a chance of knowing the full truth. That he's in political no man's land is due to his own stupidity.

Yep and....

It's been going all along since the Henry Jackson Democrats died out and the Dead Kennedys took over. It just took you 40+ years to realize it, dupe. Here's the killer: YOU helped propagate it. YOU helped enable it. YOU voted for it.

Obama is one of the most anti-Semitic presidents that I can remember. Yet he still got the majority of the Jewish vote.

I don't know. Sometimes I believe that we are the most self destructive group on the planet.
