83. I don't think it implies laziness.

Intent is hard enough to read in person. On the internets, it is 10,000 times harder. Now I think you are not trying very hard to hear what I am saying.

I am saying that when people critical of Isareal throw the word "Jew" around, it sounds VERY, VERY close to anti-semitism.

Yes, that is my personal opinion, but that is how it works when minorities are on the receiving end of words.

"Colored" used to be okay. Same with "Blacks" and "Negros".

I am SAYING that people should not fling around the word "Jew".

How about listening?
