Reply #121: There is a difference you must admit...

[everythingsxen]

between reading a news article which says "Israel accidentally shells women and children" or "Israeli air-strike kills women and children" as opposed to the literally thousands of internet forums, blogs, "news" sites and other more sinister sites which provide a non-stop barrage of headlines that say "ISRAEL MURDERS BABIES!" and "ISRAEL INTENTIONALLY KILL CIVILIANS!"

And you honestly think that it is the words posted by insignificant people on the internet that has people riled up rather than the actual actions of the Israeli "leaders"? Israelis and Jews are unfortuntely being punished for the actions of the government of Israel, on a far worse scale but similar in tone to how Americans have sometimes been treated abroad in the post-Bush era.

If you honestly think that thousands of websites actively altering peoples perceptions of the war through slander is insignificant...

Even with the Iraq war, Americans are still relatively safe throughout most of the world. The attacks on Jewish businesses and places of worship is worldwide and not just in the Mid-East.

I am sure there would be some attacks on Jewish establishments, more than usual at least, however the number of attacks has been pretty high. Much, much higher than should statistically be happening. The internet is everywhere and hate speech is alive and well on it.

I'd be surprised if the hate was the result of bloggers or internet posts, rather than the result of the ACTIONS 2 wild-eyed crazy Neo-Con led governments, and the deaths of far too many innocents on all sides.

Why would you be surprised?
