If they worked for me I'd fire them without hesitation.

Who says I haven't at least tried. Why don't I just start a new nation and invite in only moderate to conservative whites and a few select others while I'm at it?

So you're going to defend those white supremacist turds as well duly noted.

I'm saying if two sides are fighting and arguing, it's a criminal act, but in the heat of the moment people do use cars at times to run down their opposition in retaliation. That is more or less a straight up common violent crime act.

But BLM have plotted, stalked and killed completely innocent cops in cold blood. That fits every definition of terrorism, to target a whole class of people, those representing the government.

On the other hand the shootings in say Chicago are common violent crime and not terrorism.

I'm not disagreeing with you, just seems like at least some in prominent places do hold these views, that is I feel like the frothing at the mouth supremacists in the US tend to get marginalized, whereas at least some prominent figures both in US and Israel seem to hate the other groups without same level of marginalization. One example he forwarded to me a couple years ago was Donald Sterling,, real name Donald Tokowitz, a real estate magnate and owner of the LA Clippers who said to his girlfriend in a recorded conversation
““It’s the world! You go to Israel, the blacks are just treated like dogs... The white Jews, there’s white Jews and black Jews, do you understand?” From the LA Times
As Clippers lose a playoff game, pressure mounts on owner Sterling - LA Times

This happened on top of Sterling's very sorry record as a landlord in which he, indeed, treated his African-American and Latino tenants like dogs.

I agree with you 100% from my own experience that Sterling's view doesn't represent majority opinion, vast majority of the Israelis and American Jews I've known have been overall quite kind and open-minded, whether Ashkenazi or other groups. The difference though, is I feel like if an American white had uttered these kinds of sentiments he'd be totally ostracized. Whereas Sterling, even though he did go through an embarrassing period, recovered it seems like just about completely, his fortune and his ability to be accepted into polite society basically intact. Even though he doesn't own the Clippers anymore he hardly took much of a hit to his wallet or his other businesses where his real profits are. If anything I'm curious about where Sterling got his opinion. I'm not sure how accurately my colleague was reading the situation back in Israel, but he could read Hebrew so I'm guessing he must have been picking up on reports in the news media and newspapers there about such conflicts.

Absolutely. My employer makes me abide by a code of conduct, which specifically states I cannot discriminate against someone based on gender, race, or religion. If I take part in a "Unite The Right" rally, I am not abiding by my employers code of conduct.

But, of course, since I'm not a racist scumbag, I don't have to worry about attending a rally like that.

Ok so ahoels come in all colors, flavors, denominations etc. Is this surprising? My issue pretending Jews are a homogenous group. They are not.

You have lost all credibility. He revved the engine and killed a 32 yo local woman. It wasn't heated it was cowardly.
