Nov 2012

of bigotry and antisemitism

This dude is just the tip of the iceberg.

As Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement proved this is a much bigger problem in a lot of these organizations than anyone ever thought. The bigots seem to be attracted to these types of movements and are now coming out the woodwork. But I am floored at the sheer number and it explains a lot.

You cannot truly believe this oberliner Nov 2012 #11

Or that "Pro-Israel" statements are related to philosemitism. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #55

In the vast majority of cases, it isn't. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #54

These organizations such as Amnesty and Free Gaza Movement King_David Nov 2012 #2

as I told another poster being antiIsrael (really antioccupation) is as related to antisemitism azurnoir Nov 2012 #4

"I told another poster" holdencaufield Nov 2012 #6

no I was not wrong at all so you are saying azurnoir Nov 2012 #8

No ... holdencaufield Nov 2012 #16

so your saying that Amnesty International has not reported on Sudan? azurnoir Nov 2012 #40

Amnesty has vigilantly reported human rights abuses in every Arab and Muslim country. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #57

NOBODY here "secretly smiles about rockets attacks or bus bombers against Israel" Ken Burch Nov 2012 #56

YOU'RE against the Occupation? Ken Burch Nov 2012 #58

Who are you to question if a fellow DU member is against the occupation ? King_David Nov 2012 #77

I've never heard you express opposition to it Ken Burch Nov 2012 #78

Those people ( and they know who they are )... R. Daneel Olivaw Nov 2012 #59

These organizations seem to show that it is more prevalent than we all previously thought, King_David Nov 2012 #7

well everyone that gets published in a rightwing paper seems to be azurnoir Nov 2012 #9

Well I never believed it before, but recent events are convincing me King_David Nov 2012 #13

Nope I do not agree at all but I find it rather surprising that you'd say azurnoir Nov 2012 #15

I have begun to believe, IMvHO, that any information with regards to Israel R. Daneel Olivaw Nov 2012 #52

Everyday theres a different incident. King_David Nov 2012 #12

everyday? actually more than a month apart and unrelated azurnoir Nov 2012 #14

The point is ... holdencaufield Nov 2012 #17

hmmm it seems you are claiming that while it is antisemtic to be antiIsrael's occupation azurnoir Nov 2012 #20

okay I'll agree that antisemitism is as much a part of the ProPalestinian movement azurnoir Nov 2012 #26

They aren't part of a larger ideology. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #74

So many crazies in these organizations? King_David Nov 2012 #79

No...it looks like you're just trying to create paranoia. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #80

I know that's what we all believed King_David Nov 2012 #82

so bigotry and general craziness is "endemic" to Amnesty International? azurnoir Nov 2012 #81

I know, King_David Nov 2012 #18

I am sure you would feel terrible if you donated to AI or HRW and some others I've seen listed too n azurnoir Nov 2012 #19

You're damned right. Amnesty is infested with anti-Semites.... shira Nov 2012 #25

Thanks from 2 year ago but is he still with AI? n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #27

Amnesty International, MEMO and the Palestinian writer who calls Jews 'kikes' shira Nov 2012 #34

well thank you for your condemnation of Amnesty International azurnoir Nov 2012 #37

Amnesty pretends Hamas isn't committing war crimes against its own people shira Nov 2012 #60

Thanks for posting, King_David Nov 2012 #21

I'm guessing ... holdencaufield Nov 2012 #22

Maybe , but it was the result . nt King_David Nov 2012 #23

no I thought it was important that AI took action on this azurnoir Nov 2012 #33

so in your opinion that the organiztion took action against her is meaningless azurnoir Nov 2012 #24

I am saddened that the core is way too rotten King_David Nov 2012 #28

ah so you feel that because one member is guilty they all are ? n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #29

As Shira pointed out, King_David Nov 2012 #30

B'Tselem excepted really I've seem them called antisemtic here too azurnoir Nov 2012 #31

These groups are absolutely obsessed with Israel and apparrently the Jews too King_David Nov 2012 #45

Amnesty is obsessed with Israel? okay azurnoir Nov 2012 #46

Check out the UNHRC resolutions King_David Nov 2012 #47

I thought is important that AI took action against one of its members for their actions azurnoir Nov 2012 #32

It took a lot of courage for you to post this oberliner Nov 2012 #35

Ditto. n/t shira Nov 2012 #36

I am curious how did this get past you ? you are usually quick to report and azurnoir Nov 2012 #39

I'm not omniscient. n/t shira Nov 2012 #62

why ever would you say that ? an employee of AI made an antisemtic tweet and AI is taking action azurnoir Nov 2012 #38

An antisemitic tweet? oberliner Nov 2012 #41

That's what this entire thread is about and your just now asking? azurnoir Nov 2012 #42

I've read the tweet and don't find it antisemitic oberliner Nov 2012 #43

well I guess that;s your opinion but Amnesty and I found that tweet offensive because azurnoir Nov 2012 #44

Offensive is not the same as antisemitic oberliner Nov 2012 #48

I don't quite get what your after here? azurnoir Nov 2012 #49

I think you are reading things into the comment that aren't there oberliner Nov 2012 #50

I was going to add something about that in my previous comment azurnoir Nov 2012 #51

Good. This proves Amnesty is "on the case" on this issue. n/t. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #53

What do you think about Amnesty sanitizing Hamas war crimes.... shira Nov 2012 #61

it was a quote of IDF findings not B'tselems which is why only a fraction of a paragraph is snipped azurnoir Nov 2012 #63

No it's not. It's B'tselem admitting what Hamas does... shira Nov 2012 #65

well thankfully people can read whih is why I posted the whole thing n/t azurnoir Nov 2012 #66

You must've missed this part... shira Nov 2012 #67

so you edit what I posted and claim I missed it azurnoir Nov 2012 #69

Keep deflecting. B'tselem stated as fact Hamas commits war crimes via human shielding. shira Nov 2012 #70

Isamic Jihad boasting about human shielding... shira Nov 2012 #68

that is not in the article anyone who's ever read a Google translation from Arabic to English azurnoir Nov 2012 #71

B'tselem stated that not distinguishing themselves from civilians is a war crime shira Nov 2012 #72

shira that is not the Google translation and B'tselem is being quite loosley reinterpreted azurnoir Nov 2012 #75

Take a lot more than this to cleanse their organization King_David Nov 2012 #64

No you are not floored. Ken Burch Nov 2012 #73

Not true , King_David Nov 2012 #76
