You ARE a left-wing extremist, although I suspect you're exaggerating for effect.

Actually AIPAC has a growing number of non-Jewish members.
Does it? I'm glad to hear it. That means it's not only Jews who recognize the importance - strike, that.... - the NECESSITY of Israel's existence, but non-Jews as well. Weakens the Antisemitic claim that the Jews "own" the government (via their money).

Why is it only Israel's policies that are trashed? What about the true despotisms?

When people were criticizing South Africa, does that mean that people were anti-Afrikaner because they weren't also criticizing other regimes?

Any case, who cares what North Korea, Iran, etc do, they're not being subsidized by US taxpayers. Israel is. The US needs to pressure Israel into adopting humane policies and allowing a viable Palestinian state or the USA needs to pull all US aide and even sanction Israel.

US taxpayers are forced by law to have their income stolen from them to give to Israel as welfare subsidies.

And that’s the fallicy of your whole arguement - that the Israelis are inhumane. They are the most humane and moral govt in all of the Middle East. 100% of the Arabs in Israel can vote, hold office, and even be gay. These Arabs have an incredibly high standard of living. They even hold office in the Kinneset.

Enough with your lies. They make you a monster.

Jews bely that belief. Here we are, after millenia of persecution, attempted extermination, expulsions, etc., and still, against all odds, we have higher-than-average educations and, related to that, higher incomes. It reveals a truth that Democrats don't want to admit: that personal choices and values DO have something to do with success, and that you can't blame someone else entirely for problems.

Thus, many "lefties" are actually resentful of Jews. IOW, now DARE they succeed and demonstrate that it is not prejudice, and prejudice alone, that explains a group's lower level of success. That's why you see this Oppression Olympics going on and why the worst of the worst actually deny the Holocaust occurred.
This is brilliantly said. Great insight.

Yup. Betcha that these anti-Israeli posters don't know that Israel has given medical aid to 3,000 Syrian civilians injured in war. And that's just one example.

What’s funny, is this is the third time I’ve posted this in this thread, and they’re simply unable to respond. Doesn’t fit with the narrative of their hateful lies, so they just ignore it and keep lying. That my friends, is pure anti-semifinal.
