Reply #23: "Israeli" isn't synonymous with "Jewish"

[Ken Burch]

It's demagogic for you to keep bringing in the word "Jewish" in the context of this. I would never imply that it was automatically worse for a Jewish person to kill than it is for anyone else in the world to do so.

If the killer was a settler, the issue would be that that person was a settler, a person who would probably be acting out of a colonial/European supremacist mindset-not the cultural or religious ideas that were used by that killer as an excuse for her or his acts.

Stop the baiting already. You don't speak for everyone in the entire world who is Jewish. And neither does the State of Israel, and especially neither do the settlers.

It's simply wrong to imply that anyone who condemns or criticizes anything done by the Israeli government or by active-duty troops in the IDF is acting out of antisemitism. I'm not an antisemite and, from what I can see, neither is anyone else who posts in I/P on a REGULAR basis(those antisemites who do show up here are denounced by everyone else who posts in this form, including the antizionists, and everyone makes sure those jerks are immediately banned from the forum).
