Nothing to do with five kids breaking a vase or anyone "hating" Israel or Jews either, for that matter.

The holocaust was indeed dreadful, but U.S. taxpayers have spent a boatload of money defending Israel and for what?

Don't see how our involvement in their business is in the best interests of the U.S.

I've always said that the Holocaust has unfortunately given Israel carte blanche to do whatever the hell they want, and if you dare criticize one thing, you get labeled a Nazi or Anti-Semite.

I don't think I spoke all that much about Israel before. If you bring it up, I should speak on what exactly?

Will I continue to criticize America's continued war mongering more than other places? Of course. It's where I live. I should do otherwise? One has to clean up their own backyards...............

Yes, absolutely, to both of these comments. And it has nothing to do with anti-Semitism, though I don't expect the OP to believe it. She is a single agenda poster.

We have been critical of Myanmar's treatment of the Rohingya but the difference is that we don't supply military arms to Myanmar as is the case with Israel. We stand alone on most issues with Israel like the move declaring Jerusalem capital while claiming that the presidents son-in-law has a magical peace plan.


Every president going back to Carter has been critical of Israel's behavior, does that make them Nazi's, you need to give the hyperbole a rest. You should be more concerned with congress passing unconstitutional anti-BDS laws.

And the liberals keep diverting to Israel, which proves the point of the OP.

And I'm not a single issue poster. I post on many topics - and other sub-forums here as well. You just don't like when I reveal the connection between antisemitism and Israel-hate.

Then why are we seeing a global rise in anti-Semitism along with an increased blanket hatred of Israel? Don't tell me there's no correlation. Much of it is coming from the Israel-hating Muslim migrants into Europe.

I can hate the Catholic Church for the things they've done, but not hate all Catholics as a result. Just as I can hate Israel for the things they have done and not hate all Jews as a result. It's a distinction you are incapable of acknowledging.

When was the last time a terrorist act was committed against the U.S. by an Israeli?
