(I put the following is an unrelated thread, but it's really worthy if its own thread).....

The anti-Semitism on the left is spreading. And for those anti-Isrseli leftists who keep insisting that being against Israel does not have Antisemitisim at its root, let me ask you the following:

Why are leftists choosing to denigrate Israel, protesting with the anti-Israel BDS movement, when we barely hear a peep against against countries that are truly brutalizing Muslims? What about the Buddhist country of Mynamer (sp?), and what they've done do the 1 million Rochingya Muslims in that country? The Buddhists won't even allow Muslims to be citizen there (while Israel has Muslims in elected leadership positions)! And what about Syria and its treatment? What about the Kurds? I could go on and on.

WHY is the condemnation focused solely on the Jewish country? Why are leftists so willing - and even eager - to condemn Jews, yet there's not a word about other countries doing far worse?

Here's an article showing the tie between the hard left and Nazism:

Why Such a Surge of Worldwide Anti-Semitism, by Alan Dershowitz — Dr. Naomi on Israel

Here's an analogy:

You're babysitting for five kids, three white and two black. All five go careening into your favorite vase, with one of the white kids smashing into it first. You grab the black kids, and start berating them for being so careless. When they ask why you aren't yelling at the whites, you tell them....." I'm focused on YOU. You were careless!" (And then, you organize a movement to warn people that black kids have no respect for private possessions and they break things - and action should be taken to teach them a lesson.)

Why would you single out the black kids and never say a word about the whites?

Again, not liking the Likud party, and the way they treat the Palestinians worse than we have treated the Native Americans here, is not Anti-semitic

Exactly. Sad, but all too true.

Thank you. And the fact that the liberals on this thread keep circling back to.....but Israel!....is demonstrating the point.

If the US was giving billions of dollars in military aid to Myanmar, you would probably hear more protests about the treatment of Muslims in that country.

I don't know your point about Syria ot the Kurds - these are mostly muslims fighting muslims, plus we have limited influence in that country.

The denigrate because they believe it makes them appear more informed and intellectual superior to those of us who have the more traditional attitude toward American-Israeli relations.
And they denigrate while enjoying all the advantages of military technology and medical technology that Israel provides to the world.
The Left makes no sense at all.
Netanyahu makes sense. Dick Cheney makes sense. The Left doesn't.

Huh? Is it an irony?
Palestinians were about a million, now they are 5 millions.
Native Americans were about 50 millions now they are 5 millions.

I've condemned Bush, Cheney, Obama, Hillary, McCain, Trump and a long list of others for the same thing. Just like those mentioned (and many not mentioned) Israel needs to quit with the constant war mongering.
And what about other foreign countries' horrible mistreatment of Muslims? Or, for that matter, Arab countries' horrible mistreatment of Jews? (They stole the property of and expelled close to 1 million Jews in the 20th century.) Seems like the only two countries you criticize are America and Israel.
