94. Fascinating generalization.

Dec 2012

Reminds me of Ali Abunimah of EI calling J-Street and PeaceNow racist Zionist organizations.

This doesn't leave any room for anti-racist Zionists as they're all racists. Every last one.

Or, it could be that those calling them racist do so because they're the ones who are intolerant. The Stormfront crowd does that constantly WRT Jewish Supremacy, etc.

Gawd, they're almost as bad as the Americans. geek tragedy Dec 2012 #1
