debate over Israel gets heated is that both sides question each other’s motives. Supporters of Israel note that anti-Semites often cloak their prejudice in criticism of the Jewish state. They say some views—like saying that Israel should not exist—are by definition anti-Semitic. Pro-Palestinian advocates retort that charges of Jew-hatred are intended to silence them.
Can criticism of Israel be disentangled from anti-Semitism? Two recent polls in America and Britain that tried to do so reveal a pattern: hostility to Israel and to Jews are correlated, and the link is much stronger on the political right than on the left. Moreover, anti-Israel and anti-Semitic beliefs were correlated. Americans with a mark of at least six out of nine on the anti-Israel scale scored 3.4 for anti-Semitism on average, compared with 0.7 for everyone else. In Britain the figures were 2.4 and 0.5.
But do most evangelical Christians actually support Israel because they see Jews as fellow 'People of the Book' tho? Or are extreme Xtians really just wanting to facilitate their 2nd-Coming-of-Jesus-to-Jerusalem scenario.
You already posted this 4h ago. Did you not like the response or what? My contribution then -
It’s probably because Netanyahu allies himself with British and American anti-Semites
In this short instructive video, an Israeli lady explains how the 'correlation' between anti-Semitism and criticism of Israel is fabricated
Article is behind a paywall lol
Solve the Israel - Palestine conflict on the basis of ' two states for two nations'.
To Netanyahu, his associates, and supporters both in Israel and the US, any criticism of his policy towards Palestinians is anti-Semitic. So alot of people don't give a fuck about their opinion anymore.
It always goes with fascism rising. Jews and homosexuals were sharing an antipathy by these kind of groups of ultra right.
Oh, now it's 'correlated', not 'conflated'! In any case, I was curious how many lines it would take for the ulterior motive of attacking Corbyn to ooze through the text. Fewer than even I imagined, as it happens. Now go back to your room and think about what you've done.
At this point in history there really is no genuine distinction.
I understand. Everyone has their limit and jews push it.
It's surfaced on the right, which is where it always surfaces.
You can thank the BBC and the guardian for constant anti Jewish propaganda.
What is Semitism? What are they against?
Any Jew, willingly or not, is identified with Israel. So, anti-Israel and anti-Jewish are equal. And let me repeat what I wrtote some tome ago. The Jewish people survived the Pharaoh, survived the Inquisition, survived the Holocaust. And it will survive current anti-semitism.
That last remark is presented in a way that seems incredibly biased. I can't believe it went past editorial. It should be edited so as to portray a more balanced perspective.
Them no reach! they are only infinitesimal group of senile and inept rascals against God's people. They don't matter to our destiny in God. He has a covenant to be our God in all generations. Those against the Jewish race will varnish into ignominy, We are still here for ever!!!
Pal nofal_oke
Gee, there’s a shock. I’d say your survey is off by a factor of three at least.
And millions more are liars
by this logic, the entire population of israel is 'murderous' as regards Palestinians?
Since they admitted to it in a survey Pszh
Yikes
Its a very thick line
they bring in hundreds and thousands of muslims and wonder to themselves why anti -Semitism has resurfaced
Defending a hoaked nose banker is not anti-Semitism. Why is Jeremy Cobern accused of racial hatred toward Jews? If this was true, evidence should be produced. Instead, we get a constant diet of fake news.
Imagine getting kicked out of over 100 countries and still thinking everyone else is the problem.
drawing the line between criticism of islam and bigotry, criticism of US black people groups and racism, criticism of feminist movement and misogyny, criticism of lgbt movement and homophobia...
This was happening about 15 years ago, at least. It hasn't abated.
If someone “leftist” is racist, this person is not truly leftist, because racism and anti-semitism are an opposition to the communist ideas.
its just the gaza west bank situation..real anti Semitism comes from the usual places..id say has only risen slightly outside the Israel political scene..
Lol nah the left by a mile don’t try and balance the scales
