Subject: RE: BS: Hamas rockets fired into Israel.
Roberto;
My point on your persistant accusation of 'Anti-semitism' was that if the response of racism is raised whenever we criticise anybody outside our own race or culture, we would be forced to ignore the behavior of all the monsters of the world - Stalin (Russian), Mugabi (African), Pinochet (Latin American), Duvalier (Latin American), Bush (American)... you name them, we can't touch them for fear of being branded racists by people like you.
So far this has been about what the Isralis have done and are still doing - not their ethnic origins.
Some of the greatest and most vociferous critics of the Israelis have been Jewish, including several of my friends. Are they anti Semitic?
Is the American Zionist newspaper which exposed the viciousness of the incursion and the use of phosphorus, anti-Semitic; or the Rabbis helping and siding with the people of Gaza? Is Mordacai Vannannu, who alerted the world to the fact that this terrorist state possesses nuclear capability, making it a world threat (and went to jail for his trouble) an anti-Semite?
Anti Semitism is a disease which is strengthened by the over and incorrect use of the term, plesae do not be one of those who assist it.
