"The Left's Hatred of Jews Chills Me to the Bone"

[winston53660]

It is wrong to hate anyone.

Of course, disapproving of someone or wanting them restrained from doing evil is not hatred.

But you do hate people. You call them worshipers of satan.

I do not and have never claimed to hate anyone.

For that matter, I've never called anyone (except satanists perhaps) worshippers of satan.

There is not one single example of open expression of anti-Semitism on college campuses in either thread. Pathetic.

Ah, well it appears you learned nothing from reading either.

How about these?

It took me all of 5 seconds to google up those links. A little more good faith and curiosity would help.

so you don't.

It is a fact that neither of the threads contained a single example of open expression of anti-Semitism on college campuses. If you don't like being called out on your blatantly incorrect claims, maybe you should stop making them

Perhaps you should have spent more than 5 seconds: Both of those are about anti-Israeli protests/groups. There are some people in such groups who are hateful of the Jewish ethnicity, no doubt. So good, you've found one or two examples. But you're a far cry from the hyperbolic claims made in your opening post. There's nothing to suggest that they are anything but a minority. In fact your first source specifically notes that one such group is "filled with young Jews." A less blinkered person might note that associating certain governmental/political policies - such as those of Israel - with an entire ethnic group is itself the very epitome of racial stereotyping and prejudice. Jews are people, with their own personalities, histories, opinions, hopes and dreams: They are not automatons inextricably bound and interchangeable with a particular state.

 

[Mr Person]

Is the idea for this guy to make sure he has at least 5 anti-left threads going on this page at all times?

Current topics:


The left hates jews. (This thread)

The left is smug. http://www.debatepolitics.com/general-political-discussion/252022-liberals-embrace-smug-life.html

Berkeley (the left) is dumb. http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...then-fires-hundreds-workers-after-passes.html

The left in America is bad because Bolivia is bad. http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...378-congratulations-bolivarian-socialism.html

The left's "social justice" is bad. http://www.debatepolitics.com/gener...on/252336-why-social-justice-fad-failing.html

The cause of this is easy to see. Leaving aside the history of anti-Semitism as an ancient prejudice, Money is pouring from Arab nations into the coffers of universities and other left leaning institutions to fund Islamic initiatives of all kinds. The hearts and minds of left wingers follow. Now we have academics on campuses all over the US who are openly anti-Semitic and anti-Zionist, who are Holocaust deniers, who are apologists for radical Islamic terrorism. It's all the rage to be a Jew hater these days. But, of course, they don't call themselves that. They call themselves anti-Zionist. In addition, Israel is aligned with the West and with the US, so naturally leftists will be against it.

Well, I'm Jewish, and I honestly don't detect the slightest bit of legitimate outrage about the ostensible subject in this and other threads of yours. They're just pretexts for general rants about "the left".

There are none so blind as those who don't want to see. Anti-Zionism is always anti-Semitism. Discuss these issues with these people for a few minutes and the hatred of Jews as Jews will become plain.
