I think "self-hating Jew" is kind of passe and really only applies to liberal American Jews who oppose Israeli foreign policy. Anyone have a better stereotype for these people in the video?

Good for them. You think they want to be in the line of fire when their Zionist thugs step in a big pile of sheet, and it hits the fan

Americans protested the Iraq War. Same thing. It's not unpatriotic or "self-hating."

In other words, if you don't totally agree with the state of Israel you are either anti-Semitic or self-hating.

Didn't Hitler have a similar philosophy about those who disagreed with his policies at one time.

I think that is what they are trying to argue. It isn't very logical and it is fundamentally undemocratic. But, it is always easier to throw mud than to actually argue the issues.

The key here is also of Israeli censorship, and the media here that wouldn't cover any of this.

The U.S. has already taken a bullet for Israel. Does that empower us to ciritcize any Jewish lack of support (resistance to) for Zionist aggression? My country, wrong or right? That's really mature. I'm glad that there were some Uncle Tom white people who decried slavery and, because of their nascent self hatred, fought for its repeal.

So, if some Israelis are "uncle Toms" or "self hating" for opposing their duly elected government's policies does that make those Americans who oppose the duly elected President and the duly elected Democratic majorities in both houses "uncle Toms" and "self haters"
