Reply #81: 1 problem I see is saying "Mr.bush's policies" and "American people"

[uppityperson]

sound and look much more different than "Israel" and "Israelis" and, while yes of course there is anti-semitism, some who are accused mean the difference between the State's policies and the people.

I had an appalling conversation last night with a relative that I thought was openminded, calling arabs "ragheads". It was amazing, because he had no idea that this was offensive. I need to point out the similarity to nigger, etc hate words applied bigotedly to someone or some group. Anyway, as I told my ex, the one with "issues", I don't like you because you are a jerk, has nothing to do with your being Jewish, but you as an individual are an asshole. I think this was about the time he started calling me an evil vicious lying bitch to our 3 yr old child. Rambling on, sorry, will go back to beating my head against my desk while reading the news, then go out into the garden.
