re: #172 obdicut

I haven’t made any straw man of you, you are instead a slippery fish of your own making.

Just an attempt to respond to some of your points:

Jews are currently persecuted in Europe. Whether more so or less than Muslims or Roma is of no interest to me.

It is no longer the Fascists who hate us but the Liberal Left. Get with the program.

Roma are actively persecuted, and it’s the responsibility of we Jews to speak up for people who are being oppressed as we were.

How very noble of you. However, I feel the first responsibility of a Jew is to speak up for Jews and Israel.

I still don’t understand why you dragged the red herring of Roma persecution into this thread, and I still disagree with you that the persecution suffered by them is in any way comparable with that suffered by Jews.
