Unfair, yes... but very understandable. That's why I said that if her grandchildren and their children have the same attitudes, then it's a problem.
So you're saying it's okay to be racist, as long as there's a reason for it.
No, he's just plain anti-semitic.
Okay. How?
Oliver Stone said:
The controversial director complained to the London Sunday Times about "Jewish domination of the media,”
Which is true - Jewish people have been strongly involved first in film and then in television since it's creation. That's not a lie. "Domination" is hyperbole but Jews in the media are a major bloc. That's not anti-semitism.
Oliver Stone said:
Stone, who is half-Jewish, told the Times: “There's a major lobby in the United States. They are hard workers. They stay on top of every comment, the most powerful lobby in Washington. Israel has f---ed up United States foreign policy for years.”
Which is also true. The power the Jewish lobby has over America's foreign policy is quite powerful. This is why an Israeli agent can spy on the U.S. with very little blowback from the U.S. because of it. That statement is not anti-semitic.
Oliver Stone said:
While "Hitler was a Frankenstein [monster],” Stone said, “there was also a Dr. Frankenstein: German industrialists, the Americans and the British. He had a lot of support."
So in this statement Stone does say that Hitler was a Complete Monster; however, Stone also places the culpability on those who helped him. Not only is not anti-semitic, it's telling Jews that it's easy to blame one person and not go after all those who supported that one person.
Oliver Stone said:
Stone continued: "Hitler did far more damage to the Russians than the Jewish people, 25 or 30 million (killed)."
Oliver Stone is reminding Jews that they weren't the only ones harmed by Hitler. Russians, along with gypsies, communists, and homosexuals were killed en masse by Hitler as well. While this does not lessen the impact of the Jewish Holocaust, it is important to remember the other groups that went through their own Holocaust during World War II. Nothing anti-semitic here either.
And there's the rub... You support the Palestinian people over the Israeli government, but those people are ruled by a government they elected. Hamas ran on an anti-Israeli, anti-Jew platform that swore to never recognize the state of Israel. They're a terrorist organization that preaches that the only good Jew, is a dead Jew. They drive that point home by firing rockets into Israeli neighborhoods. That's what the Palestinian people chose as their governing body.
Saying that Palestinians support Hamas for firing rockets into Israel is like saying Americans supported Republicans for bombing Muslims. It is an
extreme oversimplification of the political sciences involved and completely dismissive of any Palestinian opposition to Hamas.
I don't ever hear people on your side of the fence supporting the Israeli people over the Palestinian government... a government that targets them with rocket fire, shoots guns at them from the border, and kidnaps innocents.
I'm against the Palestinians firing rockets into Israel. Just as I am against the Israeli government expanding into Palestinian territory with their settlements.
There are assholes on both sides at the top that make life hell for both sides at the bottom. That has always been my policy with regards to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
However, saying that there are assholes at the top of the Israeli government does not make one anti-semitic.
Why don't you compare apples to apples? Compare the 2 governments, not the people of one, to the government of the other.
Okay.

Doesn't look to me like the Israeli government is totally blameless in all it does.
Yes it is, and that's usually my point. There's a lot of blame to go around on all sides with regards to conflicts in the Middle East,
especially with regards to the conflicts between Israel and the Palestinians. But criticism of Israels over what they do because of them is not anti-semitic. And just because one has criticism of Israel does not mean one does not have criticism of the Palestinians.
