Hat in hand? That's not criticism? Honestly your disdain for Israel is obvious and vile.





Enough said.
LMAO....that qualifies as Israel bashing?

But maybe you can help me understand something. This "anti-semite" thing you are talking about seems to be the new, popular response to the word, in certain circles. What is the angle? I mean, in modern times, anti-Semite has become the term for anti Jew. If you say it, everybody knows what you mean, so what is the problem? Would it be better if someone says anti Jew? And if so, why? Aren't we just talking semantics here?
Islamaphobe. Anti-Semite. Both stupid terms used by stupid people who have nothing meaningful to say. The ones who use those terms are attempting to gain the upper hand by feigning injury and hoping that the other party is too weak willed to call out their accusers for the childish attempt at manipulation.

I know! How dare people unfairly stereotype bigoted people!

Yeah and racism and sexism doesn't exist either.

Bigots are bigots.

And the fact remains that you're still an anti semitic bigot. Congratulations.

But you missed mine. Clearly the irony of my post was lost on you.

From your posts, here and on other threads, you have no problem pointing out stereotypical patterns and behavior of other people. Yet the minute someone places you in a box, you cry foul.

Some people can dish it out, but just can't take it.

Try reading again. I was pointing out the intellectual weakness of those tactics and I wasn't even addressing you, but clearly the shoe fit given your replies.

And I wasn't even called an anti-Semite so you are clearly just flailing with your claim that "I can't take it."

Yes. You've got me pegged. I am intellectually weak and you are a genius.

You weren't called an anti-Semite, but clearly the term strikes a nerve.
