You cannot question either of the sacred cow's, the military or Israel .

Tragically, even an innocent, off the cuff slip of the tongue has now cost this woman everything, the rightwing attack machine, with its barking dogs always at the ready, have created a firestorm that forced an almost 90 year old woman to retire.

I saw this one coming. You dont criticize Israel and you dont criticize the U.S. military.

That's not what she said. She said jews should get out of palestine and return to germany and poland. That's calling for ethnic cleansing, which is worse than a single racist comment. Sorry. Try again, antisemite.

You call yourself one when you post the things you've been posting.

And I'm right anyway, and you know it. You just don't have the courage to admit it. That's not my problem, it's yours.

If I played the same game you have played for 22 pages, I'd probably be banned.

You are, undoubtedly, a huge fan of demagoguery, employing it yourself in almost every reply.

Go watch some Glenn Beck.

I'm not going to explain the incentives for people to move to Israel.
Look it up.

Tea Parties/Wingnuts/conservatives labor under the illusion they are always correct.

For these people, they are not only always correct, their detractors are always wrong.

Thats why, as the first two years of Obama's Presidency has proven, the art of compromise is impossible with radical conservatism.

First of all, their number is irrelevant. Being in the minority does not make a group worth anything less than anybody else.

You know what you've posted.

If you believe in your feelings you should be able to be honest about them.

Would you actually say that you have no problem at all with Jewish people in America? None? How you decide to answer that, or if you decide to answer it at all, is up to you. You can believe whatever you want to believe. It just seems like you would want to stand by your beliefs, regardless of the response you get for them.

Her statement merely demonstrates how ignorant she is, and probably always has been, in her life.
