re: #15 Charles

The title itself is openly antisemitic: “For Palestinians, Every Day Is Kristallnacht.”

Disgusting.

With all due respect, Charles, it’s anti-Israeli and anti-Zionist. It’s not anti-Semitic, unless the conventional wisdom here is that Israel and the Jewish faith are one and indivisible.

I’m new here, and I’m not trying to be offensive or controversial. But I believe the distinction is really important. I believe - with all my heart - that Israel has a right to exist and a right to protect itself. But I also believe that we - every living human who enjoys any measure of freedom and self-determination at all - have an obligation to provide those same things for the Arabs who were displaced by the founding of Israel. Yes, it’s a long, complex, almost insoluble situation; that does not relieve Humanity of the obligation to try. Branding any and all opposition to Israel’s political and social policies as “anti-Semitic” is not helpful; it enflames an already burning pyre of human stupidity. (And having followed links here to Pammy Atlas the Augmented Breasts of Zion, so I have seen tat there’s already way more than enough of that on the Internet now…)
