Now here’s an interesting case study:
There has recently been two articles on OLO that were in many respects mirror-images.The first was from Ismail Salami, titled “Argo: from Hollywoodism to Iranophobia” , which bemoaned the criticism of Iran/Iranians implied in a recent film. The second, the above article by Jonathan Ariel, which bemoaned the boycotting and picketing of individuals and businesses identified as Jewish. What is puzzling --and surely worthy of the investigations of a nobel laureate -- is the different reaction of posters to each article. In the first instance there was a prevailing measure of sympathy expressed for the position of the author. Even the few who challenged the authors take, did not give the "Iranian govt/system is the incarnate of evil” response. And in the end, thanks to the insight of posters like Poirot a consensus was arrived that, anything (and everything) untoward that happened in Iran was all the fault of the US of A. In reading the responses to the second article I really thought I was on the streets of Pamplona in July, there was so much bull-dust being tossed around. Israel was equated with Nazi Germany. And there were reams of scribble that assured us that if only Israel would give the west bank we’d all love Jews and thereafter everyone would beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks…and the wolf and the lamb will feed together yadda yadda yadda .Poor ole CSteele even came out of exile -- and after updating his social register with the venues and dates of the protests --gave us a executive summary of his anti-Jewish readings for the last six months. And here’s a further puzzle, if Zionism is the drive to establish an exclusive Jewish state. What is the name for the drive to establish an exclusive Islamic state? We already have the demonizing term(s) Zionist/ Zionism to describe the former,but we seem to have no similarly loaded term for the latter.Which is somewhat ironic given we have only one of the former but dozens of the latter.

The word you are looking for SPQR is "Islamist".

Well, it's Friday. I believe the protest was scheduled for yesterday. Right about now I imagine the two sides will be hammering out a peace deal.

That plus the fact that Israel’s leaders have no interest in peace on terms the Palestinians could accept. its sad you cant see through the spin http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRP7tOI-eIM http://www.redressonline.com/2012/11/israels-goebbels-at-work-over-gaza-provocation/ all life comes from god the life giver NOT LIFE TAKER*..by their works wil we know who they serve http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0aEo59c7zU till you look at the facts its only to easy to serve TWO MASTER'$ http://whatreallyhappened.com/ Posted by one under god, Friday, 16 November 2012 4:12:18 PM

When BBC ignores Israeli murder of its own cameraman’s baby,
what hope for other Palestinians? http://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/when-bbc-ignores-israeli-murder-its-own-cameramans-baby-what-hope-other In a new low for the BBC’s objectively pro-Israel coverage, the British state broadcaster seems to be doing its best to downplay the murder by Israel of family members of one of its own cameramen. The 11-month-old son of BBC Arabic’s picture editor Jihad Misharawi was killed in Israeli tank shelling last night, along with his sister-in-law, according to BBC journalists on Twitter, and one report online (which didn’t even name him).

As for the term Goyim, it means any non-Jews, just as the term Barbarians (in its original, not modern meaning) was used to describe any non-Greeks. It does not imply superiority or inferiority, being chosen or otherwise.
