Reply #53: Good for them. I tried bringing this up when I was new here & got royally flamed

So I haven't discussed it here since then. But it doesn't change the fact that there is a lot of loose rhetoric promulgated by some of the leading anti-war groups in the US, rhetoric that equates all Jews in America and Israel with wrong-headed Israeli politicians and policies.

On the contrary, there are several Jewish organizations in both America and Israel whose members are actively working toward peace and reconciliation with the Palestinians.

And there are many Jews in America who oppose the Iraq invasion and occupation, but who are rightfully turned off by what amounts to unthinking anti-Semitism.

When I got flamed I was told to go to I/P. I didn't. And I'm glad you brought this into GD.
