Reply #129: Correction -- anti-Israel/anti-Zionist sentiment

[dolstein]

If you're Jewish and are either sympathetic towards or at worst indifferent towards the terrorist attacks on Israeli civilians and calls for the destruction of Israel, than you are welcome in the DU community. But if you're Jewish (or hell, even if you're not Jewish) and stand up for Israel's right to exist and right to defend itself against terrorist attacks, then you're just another one of Ariel Sharon's butt monkeys and may as well go join the Republican Party. You certainly aren't welcome here.

In addition, practicing Jews -- and especially orthodox Jews -- are certainly looked down upon here. But then, so are most people who profess a believe in God and see some virtue in religious faith.
