Nov 2012

and I find this quote curious

People who will scream from the church steeples about "outdoor prisons" and "starving Palestinians" but secretly smile about rocket attacks and bus bombers against Israel as "justified and excusable actions against the Zionist oppressor"

why ever would you use "church steeples" as an example are you saying that Christians are antisemitic?

You cannot truly believe this oberliner Nov 2012 #11

Or that "Pro-Israel" statements are related to philosemitism. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #55

In the vast majority of cases, it isn't. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #54

These organizations such as Amnesty and Free Gaza Movement King_David Nov 2012 #2

as I told another poster being antiIsrael (really antioccupation) is as related to antisemitism azurnoir Nov 2012 #4

Amnesty has vigilantly reported human rights abuses in every Arab and Muslim country. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #57

NOBODY here "secretly smiles about rockets attacks or bus bombers against Israel" Ken Burch Nov 2012 #56

YOU'RE against the Occupation? Ken Burch Nov 2012 #58

Who are you to question if a fellow DU member is against the occupation ? King_David Nov 2012 #77

I've never heard you express opposition to it Ken Burch Nov 2012 #78

Those people ( and they know who they are )... R. Daneel Olivaw Nov 2012 #59

These organizations seem to show that it is more prevalent than we all previously thought, King_David Nov 2012 #7

well everyone that gets published in a rightwing paper seems to be azurnoir Nov 2012 #9

Well I never believed it before, but recent events are convincing me King_David Nov 2012 #13

Nope I do not agree at all but I find it rather surprising that you'd say azurnoir Nov 2012 #15

I have begun to believe, IMvHO, that any information with regards to Israel R. Daneel Olivaw Nov 2012 #52

Everyday theres a different incident. King_David Nov 2012 #12

everyday? actually more than a month apart and unrelated azurnoir Nov 2012 #14

The point is ... holdencaufield Nov 2012 #17

hmmm it seems you are claiming that while it is antisemtic to be antiIsrael's occupation azurnoir Nov 2012 #20

okay I'll agree that antisemitism is as much a part of the ProPalestinian movement azurnoir Nov 2012 #26

They aren't part of a larger ideology. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #74

So many crazies in these organizations? King_David Nov 2012 #79

No...it looks like you're just trying to create paranoia. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #80

I know that's what we all believed King_David Nov 2012 #82

so bigotry and general craziness is "endemic" to Amnesty International? azurnoir Nov 2012 #81

I know, King_David Nov 2012 #18

I am sure you would feel terrible if you donated to AI or HRW and some others I've seen listed too n azurnoir Nov 2012 #19

You're damned right. Amnesty is infested with anti-Semites.... shira Nov 2012 #25

Thanks from 2 year ago but is he still with AI? n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #27

Amnesty International, MEMO and the Palestinian writer who calls Jews 'kikes' shira Nov 2012 #34

well thank you for your condemnation of Amnesty International azurnoir Nov 2012 #37

Amnesty pretends Hamas isn't committing war crimes against its own people shira Nov 2012 #60

Thanks for posting, King_David Nov 2012 #21

I'm guessing ... holdencaufield Nov 2012 #22

Maybe , but it was the result . nt King_David Nov 2012 #23

no I thought it was important that AI took action on this azurnoir Nov 2012 #33

so in your opinion that the organiztion took action against her is meaningless azurnoir Nov 2012 #24

I am saddened that the core is way too rotten King_David Nov 2012 #28

ah so you feel that because one member is guilty they all are ? n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #29

As Shira pointed out, King_David Nov 2012 #30

B'Tselem excepted really I've seem them called antisemtic here too azurnoir Nov 2012 #31

These groups are absolutely obsessed with Israel and apparrently the Jews too King_David Nov 2012 #45

Amnesty is obsessed with Israel? okay azurnoir Nov 2012 #46

Check out the UNHRC resolutions King_David Nov 2012 #47

I thought is important that AI took action against one of its members for their actions azurnoir Nov 2012 #32

It took a lot of courage for you to post this oberliner Nov 2012 #35

Ditto. n/t shira Nov 2012 #36

I am curious how did this get past you ? you are usually quick to report and azurnoir Nov 2012 #39

I'm not omniscient. n/t shira Nov 2012 #62

why ever would you say that ? an employee of AI made an antisemtic tweet and AI is taking action azurnoir Nov 2012 #38

An antisemitic tweet? oberliner Nov 2012 #41

That's what this entire thread is about and your just now asking? azurnoir Nov 2012 #42

I've read the tweet and don't find it antisemitic oberliner Nov 2012 #43

well I guess that;s your opinion but Amnesty and I found that tweet offensive because azurnoir Nov 2012 #44

Offensive is not the same as antisemitic oberliner Nov 2012 #48

I don't quite get what your after here? azurnoir Nov 2012 #49

I think you are reading things into the comment that aren't there oberliner Nov 2012 #50

I was going to add something about that in my previous comment azurnoir Nov 2012 #51

Good. This proves Amnesty is "on the case" on this issue. n/t. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #53

What do you think about Amnesty sanitizing Hamas war crimes.... shira Nov 2012 #61

it was a quote of IDF findings not B'tselems which is why only a fraction of a paragraph is snipped azurnoir Nov 2012 #63

No it's not. It's B'tselem admitting what Hamas does... shira Nov 2012 #65

well thankfully people can read whih is why I posted the whole thing n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #66

You must've missed this part... shira Nov 2012 #67

so you edit what I posted and claim I missed it azurnoir Nov 2012 #69

Keep deflecting. B'tselem stated as fact Hamas commits war crimes via human shielding. shira Nov 2012 #70

Isamic Jihad boasting about human shielding... shira Nov 2012 #68

that is not in the article anyone who's ever read a Google translation from Arabic to English azurnoir Nov 2012 #71

B'tselem stated that not distinguishing themselves from civilians is a war crime shira Nov 2012 #72

shira that is not the Google translation and B'tselem is being quite loosley reinterpreted azurnoir Nov 2012 #75

Take a lot more than this to cleanse their organization King_David Nov 2012 #64

No you are not floored. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #73

Not true , King_David Nov 2012 #76
