please remove me from any future lists unless you have the guts to admit why my posts were taken down.
Actually you won't see GilGamesh making any more arguments here. It seems the policy here is to only allow ideas and arguments that Mr Weiss and or his moderators deem acceptable. token zionist are allowed but only if they don't ask questions that are to difficult. I want to thank you all for only furthering my view that you are really only interested in propaganda and not in fostering and in fact afraid of any real discussion. I am thinking of doing my own feel the hate video on you tube with quotes form this site. So keep up the good work. you should be seeing yourself on youtube soon.
That didn't make the whole county racist though did it ?
Jeffrey , so glad you responded I noticed below that Marleen had some questions regarding the Nuremberg laws and how Jews are claasified. I know you are something of an expert in this regard having heard you on a Pacifica broadcast explaining how Ruppert Murdock was really a Jew and how you had done research with showed he did indeed have Jewish blood. I already directed her to your web site JTR but perhaps you could give her a personal explanation.
I did answer his question annie now answer mine . Is Israel more or less racist then most of the other govt's in the Mid East or even the west ?
Sorry Shingo, But you are wrong. Just because an incident is not isolated doesn't mean it is representative of the general population. And again anyone who makes it seem like it is is a bigot. Protecting demonstrators even those with with unpopular views is not institutionalized racism. I haven't seen the video. Do I doubt that there is racism in Israel, absolutely not. Do I know there are racist politicians there of course. But first of all anecdotal evidence is not evidence of systematic or institutionalized racism.
You will find the same exact things in almost every country western and eastern alike. I think in this regard Israel is probably worse then some and better then most.
It's certainly not as institutionalized as as it is in Gaza where men dressed up as cartoon characters on children's shows talk about killing Jews to children. Have you seen that video Shingo?
David, thanks for your reply,
Firstly, I don't recall Israel claiming they were attacking Gaza (for example) in the name of all Jews, but I get your point.
Secondly, What is bigotry if it is not holding an entire group responsible for the actions of a few. Max Blumenthal, and by extension Philip Weiss, seem to be experts in this. Max's new stock in trade is taking racists comments by a few people and claiming it represents all of Israel everyone that isn't an anti-Zionist.
Thirdly how can you look at the comments on this thread and believe that the people commenting here trying to minimize the holocaust or making the Zionists partially responsible for it would somehow feel differently if not for Israels "misdeeds". For most of them Israel primary misdeed is it's existence.
Sorry David but you seem to be rationalizing anti-Semitism as a valid response to anything that Israel does that others find objectionable. Since you brought up African Americans, your argument is equivalent to someone saying well there wouldn't be so much racism if African Americans would just get off welfare. You need to understand that categorizing any group in such a fashion should never be excused and in doing so you only add to the problem.
the Mufti was also elected President of the Supreme Muslim in 1922.
elected to the presidency of the National Palestinian Council in 1948.
ELECTED.
no Powerpoints, just promises from Hitler that he would be allowed to be in charge of the "final solution" in the ME after the war. Oh that and recruiting SS troops.
what !!! a Max Blumenthal fan writing something that is untrue and bigoted!!!!! I'm shocked !!!
Look the settlers have more then their share of bigots as does Hamas and extremists on the other side. The difference is people who are truly interested in peace don't make excuses for one side while demonizing the other. This demonization has became Max's stock in trade.
yeah those publicity hound Goodman and Schwerner.
Firstly Beyond the Pale is not interested in anti-Semitic remarks that come from, what they consider to be the left, as evidenced by there silence to the anti-Semitism at BAI. So I don't think that show would be the appropriate response to anti-Semitic remarks on KPFT. BTP's producers while hosting a segment called "Muzzle Watch" which they claim is about tracking efforts to stifle open debate about Israel, not only never permit opposing views on their show but openly supported the banning of Michael Lerner at an anti war rally because he criticized ANSWER. So much BPT's interest in any debate.
Secondly while I'm not in favor of a show produced by the Israeli consulate certainly programs produced by entities owned or financed by foreign gov'ts is not new to Pacifia. They recently started carrying Al Jazeera which is financed by the Emir of Qatar. They also carry the BBC which is financed by the gov't of the UK.
Thirdly it's seems to me that people posting here have no understanding of the Pacifia mission. Pacifica was meant to as a place for the airing of diverse points of view. What it has become sadly is an outlet for political diatribe with a decided agenda.
Fourthly Jeffrey Blankfort is the editor of the Jewish Tribal review who's purpose in short proving that Jews run the world. This is an age old anti-Semitic canard which Blankfort seems to see as his mission to propagate.
The fact that this web site would use him so frequently as a source of information makes me question weather the editors of this site are in any way qualified to comment on how KPFT should respond to anti-Semitic comments on it's airways.
So your saying colleges are trying to attract Jewish students so Jewish alums can control the schools Potshed?
See what happens at schools when a pro-zionist speaker comes, and is heckled off the stage as happened in the case of Michael Oren, or where speakers were uninvited as in the case of Ehud Barak due to pressure from anti-Zionists.
What is this but control ?
While my intention may have indeed been inflammatory I am skeptical of your claim that you only meant this as a "data point'.
Firstly what Jews consider us outsiders in American life?
Secondly how did quotas foster the rise in neoconservatism ? If anything what fostered neoconservatism was what the neocons considered the excess' of the left. Jewish neocons feel nothing if not that they are insiders in American life. Please name me a well known neocon who has expressed the view that his feelings as an outsider formed the basis of his political philosophy.
Thirdly, what about my reply was disgusting? Was it that I associated you in with Blankfort? Did I mis-characterize his work ? Did I mis-characterize you as a supporter of his ?
What was Phil's point if not to imply some sort of Jewish control of Universities ? After all he is a supporter of Jeffrey Blankfort and Brankfort spends a great deal of time "documenting" how Jews control the world.
If I have this wrong please tell me what Phil's intent was and why he was so vague about what his intent was.
