re: #110 Obdicut

Okay. I have a really big problem with you declaring that people are posting blatantly anti-Israel posts, and then serving up one post that, if you interpret it while squinting, could possibly be seen as anti-Israel, and another one that is disrespectful to you, but not anti-Israel.

As I said, I don’t think you’re a troll. I also don’t think those posts are blatantly, or even subtly, anti-Israel, and I think you’re making yourself look foolish and paranoid by jumping on posts and declaring them anti-Israel. In this case, you’ve attacked two people who I know are very pro-Israel. That’s not a very good success record, is it?

Happy to have a discussion about the subjectivity of experience and how our personal backgrounds inform our interpretation of the world around us.

I grew up having to fight every school break because I am Jewish. On the way home, I would be intercepted by groups of kids who yanked my yarmulke off my head and played “keepaway” with it. I was in fistfights every school day from 3rd grade until 9th grade.
Yeah, I’m a bit sensitive.
