>>In recent light of some recent threads, I would say the anti-semitic, anti-Israel, anti-Jew element is at an all-time high here.<<

Definitely count me in as anti-Israel. I am fervently anti-zionist also. And guess what? So are many, many proud Jews.

Anti-semitic is a senseless term since it refers to a language group. As for anti-Jew, when have the whiny "everybody hates us" type of Jews ever been able to stand this world without anti-Jews to hate? If there were no Nazis, it would be necessary for these types of Jews to create them.

>>We have a right to be paranoid<<

Bullshit.

>>Some of the poster's here are obviously unaware that Israel is the homeland of all Jews, Israel and Judiasm is synonomous.<<

Then if you're a Jew, go live there and shut up. Leave the bagels, though, I like those.

>>It's just another childish attempt by Martin to get attention...<<

Righto!

>>It's about rampant Mudcat anti-semitism.<<

Translation: "It's about people who don't agree with me."

>>Martin, I do understand where you're coming from.<<

It's called Saturn.

>>Jews in Israel and elsewhere around the world would probably cringe in horror if they realized a loud-mouthed opinionated bigot like MG was speaking for them.<<

From what I saw in Israel, I'd have to say he'd fit right in. Those people are absolutely nuts. I can't believe the US is stupid enough to support them, especially when the US gets absolutely nothing in return. Everything is supposed to be gave & take but Israel is all take. Time to start giving. Want something from me? Gotta give something up. I would think Jewish business acument would accept that sentiment wholeheartedly. But when they wallow in their own cesspool of self-pity, I guess that gets buried. Oh, well, their loss.

But go ahead and call us all Nazis and Hamas-lovers and anti-Jews for whatever good you think it will do you. But you're cutting your own throat that way and don't expect me to stop you.
