I must have misunderstood it.
I thought she was saying that it’s wrong to be anti-Semitic.

She's basically denying there were attacks on jews.

I thought you might be sarcastic in that she shows there are indeed a number of people that will carry all sorts of jewish tropes etc. around and that it's not just having a problem with Israel.

The whole thing is freakin' hilarious because you look around the US and people are acutely aware of racism and it's well known that there is a lot of racism in the middle east. But suddenly *poof* nobody hates jews, it's just Israel. What a heap of BS.

P.S. She has a crazy look. No different than when they decribe a guy as looking "creepy". She looks like the kind that would see someone with a booth handing out literature she didn't like and she'd come at them with scissors from her purse.

Most Catholics oppose sex abuse, 85% of Gazans support Hamas. Marching in favor of Hamas is like marching in favor of sex abuse.

Actually funny you say that, someone on news pointed out yesterday that all the speakers seem to be women. Women cheering for a group that demeans and devalues women. And kills gays. Funny now the same people outraged about gay rights a year ago don't care that Hamas throws them off of buildings or drags them behind motorcycles.

good points. check out the following where brooke lober spewed her drivel (~27 second mark) - it's virtually all women.

I was aghast when I saw that last night! It really makes me feel doomed for humanity, if disinformation like that is swallowed as truth so easily, most especially by elected officials.

It's a sad race to support the currently most perceived to be downtrodden. Can require 'switching horses'.

Ones a religion and the other is an institution been around for centuries with lots of political power. Politics is dishonest. Doesnt matter which side of the fence they are on.
Keep in mind they only read the headlines. They do not realize that not all Jews are Israeli. That things the Israeli army does are often as bad as or worse than what Hamas does. I am so sick of hearing "hate" toward Jews. I decided to look at the history of the situation between the two, Israeli government vs Hamas, which has nothing to do with Jews and Palestinians or hating either group. I looked at what the Israel government were doing to the Palestinians, and found a Jewish group that supported the Palestinian people due to what was being done to them by the Israeli government.

I did notice that many that have little to no use for blacks here, also have the same feelings about the Palestinian people. That told me all I needed to know.

If people were not so ignorant about history and so fixated on supporting their race of people in any situation, maybe the ignorance would end.

They must have made police reports, so that should take care of any physical violence that took place. If they feel "hated", I suggest psychotherapy to get over it. Those that feel like they are "hated" generally suffer from self-hate and loathing.
