Modern Anti-Semitism Has Found a Good Cause

[shira]

18. Seems you chose not to read what the article really said...

She's strongly implying that to support the Palestinian people is to be antisemitic, which is a totally untrue argument I've seen peddled by the RW types in the US.

She's not implying any such thing. She's point out obvious antisemitic hypocrisy...

It's awful when Palestinian children get killed, but many choose not to understand what's behind the other side of the fence. Hamas uses children as human shields -- it shoots at Israeli cities from schools, hospitals and kindergartens. Hamas teaches toddlers to wear suicide bombs and makes them believe blowing themselves up in public places is noble and holy. These children are used to armed fighting from a very young age, [font color = "red"]but no one seems to be bothered about children being used as an army. Why?[/font]

It's pretty damned obvious that many so-called supporters of Palestinians choose to ignore the above. Why do they do this if they're so concerned about Palestinian children?

The rest is yr typical zealots repeat-it-by-rote nonsense. Here's a quick summary...

1. Forget about those Palestinian children that Israel kills. I think I spotted a photo online of a toddler in a suicide-vest! Let's expand on that!

That's not it at all. The question is WHY aren't supporters of Palestinians concerned at all about those toddlers in suicide vests, or children used in the army, children used as human shields?

2. The Palestinians don't want a state. They want to kill Jews!

When Israel accepted the Clinton Initiatives in 2000, that would have given the Palestinians a state on nearly 100% of the pre-67' territories. No more occupation/settlements. Arafat chose Intifada 2 (killing Jews) as a response. Simple fact. Do you need to see dozens more disgusting PMW videos that show what the intentions of the Palestinian leadership are?

3. The refugees she likes balance out the refugees she detests if she just closes her eyes tight and pretends their situations are the same...

Again, she's pointing to the hypocrisy of Palestinian "supporters". The supporters don't care about refugees in Lebanon, for example, suffering under genuine apartheid. WHY? The reason is clear. They don't support Palestinians. They hate Jews and love to blame Palestinian misery on Israel. They couldn't care less about Palestinian misery anywhere else. As for Jewish refugees, they get less than 1% of the coverage that Palestinian refugees get. Why?

4. Israel violates the human rights of Palestinians? Look! Over there! Someone else does it, so why talk about Israel?

The question is why Palestinian supporters don't talk about Palestinian suffering that is far worse under Hamas control, or in Lebanon. What kind of Palestinian supporters choose to ignore those situations for Palestinians (far worse than what they suffer via Israel) but focus only on Palestinian suffering when Israel can be blamed? Antisemites who don't care about Palestinians but only bashing Jews, that's who. David Duke and Gilad Atzmon are prime examples of modern day sanctimonious bigots.
