"That is an ambiguous sentence. A)On the one hand it could be that he is accused of saying that any Jewish organisation, by virtue of being Jewish must automatically be "pro-Israel". "
Which is why I have specified the present regime
I don't believe there are Jewish organisations that are pro-Israel - I believe there are some Jews who support what i happening in Israel and others who don't.
I know for a fact that the Israel regime has present a huge amount of money in order to offset criticism of its actions regarding the Palestinians, and I also know that one of the tactics has been to expand the definition of "antisemitism" to include criticism of its own policy - that has been openly stated often enough.
Terms like "pro-Israel" are a shortcut - I have stated my attitude to the existence of the State of Israel and my own family history in supporting that State - and my own experience through my own personal contact with politically inclined Jewish people - this is why I become angry when I am accused of being antisemitic, especially by somebody who adopts the coward stance of Bobad, who refuses to respond to why I and others say, but just pours out his vitriolic accusations from his position of anonymity.
When push comes to shove, the "Jewish" side of this argument is immaterial; as far as I am concerned, the proven behaviour of the Israeli regime would be unacceptable if anybody were to adopt it.
Making that behaviour "Jewish", as they have, has, as far as I am concerned, have added their own antisemitism to the equation.
I'm totally with my near mother-in-law, a Holocaust survivor (who I knew within 20 years of her ordeal) - "Never again - not to anybody".
As much as he and I differed on some points, I will remind people of Mike Grosvenor Myers (MtheGM), summing up of his own feeling, as a Jew, of what he felt about what happened to Israel - one of his last postings to this forum.
