Not a Mistake, Misunderstanding, or Well-Intended Criticism But a Deliberate Campaign to Bash Israel [View all] Mosby Feb 2013 OP

I have seen plenty of bashing of Palestine as well, lets not pretend this is a one way street Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #1

The difference is that there is a coordinated propaganda campaign Mosby Feb 2013 #3

There is an even larger and more well funded campaign against Palestine Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #4

By whom? Be specific. n/t shira Feb 2013 #15

Seriously? Are you completely blind? Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #17

AIPAC is comparable to a concerted effort by the media, academia, gov't institutions, ngo's...? shira Feb 2013 #19

Don't even try to pretend everyone in the media and academia is anti-Israel Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #20

Not everyone. But a very significant, outspoken sector. And you didn't answer me... n/t shira Feb 2013 #22

I did answer you read the next post, you edited your post after I responded Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #23

Here is an example of a recent US Presidential candidate making a broad brush attack on Palestinians Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #21

And he's bashed in all sectors, every institution for his views.... shira Feb 2013 #24

I did not hear Netanyahu bashing him Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #25

So where's this concerted, mass conspiracy? Netanyahu is roundly condemned worldwide. shira Feb 2013 #26

Romney was bashing and lots of people agreed with him and joined in the bashing of Palestine Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #28

But I'm asking what was unfair or demonizing from Romney? Criticism is something else.... shira Feb 2013 #29

Saying Palestinians don't want peace is unfair, in other words the entire premise of what he said Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #31

Should he have said "most" Palestinians? Check this out.... shira Feb 2013 #33

There are plenty of Israelis who reject a two state solution as well Bjorn Against Feb 2013 #34

It's not comparable. Most RIGHTWING Israelis are for 2 states, split Jerusalem..... shira Feb 2013 #38

There is also a vicious propaganda campaign against Muslims and immigrants in Europe LeftishBrit Feb 2013 #7

I agree that his reputation is tarnished Mosby Feb 2013 #9

No; the 'neo-fascists' have always existed and are not being 'fed' by the sins of immigrants and LeftishBrit Feb 2013 #11

More Rubin LeftishBrit Feb 2013 #10

sounds rather like Tea partier n/t azurnoir Feb 2013 #43

You don't get Rubin, and I don't believe you want to either. shira Feb 2013 #16

I'm not surprised yr now defending someone who insists there's no such thing as Islamophobia Violet_Crumble Feb 2013 #52

Question... Shaktimaan Feb 2013 #48

Israel is not being singled out by the UN. Your premise is flawed. R. Daneel Olivaw Feb 2013 #49

Huh. Shaktimaan Feb 2013 #50

Oh, would you please stop it! Would you please come off your high horse as well! R. Daneel Olivaw Feb 2013 #12

It's not any criticism. The problem is the OTT, exaggerated, half-truths, demonization.... shira Feb 2013 #18

wow really at no other time well I can't remember another time when azurnoir Feb 2013 #14
