Arjay,
There's still a tendency among the "resistance", even the anti Semitic elements to view things in universal terms, what's true for the U.S.A is not true for the rest of the world, Jews and "Zionists" do control the U.S media and AIPAC does exert undue influence over political life there, these are indisputable facts and are well enough explained elsewhere that we need not go into them here. That doesn't mean however that the same is true of Israel's other partners, what about Israel's role in Africa or her relationships with India, Australia and China are they the same as her relationship with the U.S?
There is no universal rule of thumb, ever, this is the WASP delusion, this is why critics of Israel and Jews always lose, their case is always based on some universal set of standards such as "Human rights" which can be shot down or dismissed as a generalisation.

Palestine - hands up those who hate Arabs

By Singer's misappriated, highly presumptious and insulting definition: that those who oppose the expansion of Israel or its policies or its defiance of UN resolutions when it suits the Zionist lobby must therefore be haters of Jews - Mr Singer and his supporters can equally be accused of being haters of Islam, of Arabs and, in particular, of Palestinians.

Should Singer deny this then, logically, he must retract his statement and apologise.

Jay of Melbourne,Just the title "hands up who hates the Jews" is again playing the victim card to stop criticism of what the Zionists are doing in many countries.

The World is changing with the rise of China and and the Non Aligned Movement of 120 countries who are resisting Western Imperialism.

China is 2008 decided that no more Western Banks would be allowed to create their currency.It still creates 80% of it's new money via Govt Banks while the West langusihes in debt created by our private banks.This is one of the reasons why China is being demonised and the Western Oligarchs are pushing for a military conflict.

The invasion of Afghanistan,Pakistan,Iraq,Libya,Somalia and now an attack on Syria had nothing to do with Terrorism.They want the energy/resources of these countries and the strategic positions to contain Russia/China.

The West wages wars mostly by paid proxies like Al Queda or gets countries like Turkey to do their dirty work.

stevenmeyer,

You've indicated some particularly offensive comments, however we need a reference, so, which other comments here are "unhinged" demonisations of Israel and which aren't?

I presume that you don't regard all comments on this thread that are critical of Israel as "anti-Semitic," although it certainly appears that way because I haven't seen any ethical defence of Israeli policies. Instead you've resorted to "begging the question", by referencing links on anti-Semitism and claiming the moral high ground.

The facile assumption that criticism of Israel is motivated solely by anti-Semitism is remarkably arrogant.

Wow what a response by those of you who have put your hands up as Jew haters.

Most I have identified as such in your previous responses to my earlier articles. Welcome to the new members of the club.

You are all perfectly entitled to your own opinions.

One thing is certain however - they will not help bring about a resolution of the Jewish-Arab conflict that has raged for the last 130 years - only serve to inflame and prolong it.

You all obviously support Mahmoud Abbas' following claims:

"The international community cannot force us to recognize the nature of the Israeli state. Do not force us to recognize a Jewish state. We will not accept it."

"We have frankly said, and always will say: If there is an independent Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital, we won’t agree to the presence of one Israeli in it..."

And Abbas is the "moderate" - embraced by all and sundry at the UN - the "President" whose term of office expired in 2009, a Holocaust denier and the Chairman of the PLO which claims Israel,Gaza, the West Bank and Jordan are one indivisible territorial unit.

How will his statements help resolve the conflict?

How will the UN General Assembly Resolution help resolve the conflict by telling 600000 Jews they have to pack up and get out of their homes where they have lived for up to 40 years?

If increased violence between Jews and Arabs is to be avoided then this General Assembly resolution needs to be reversed - and soon.

That is my opinion and nothing you have said encourages me to change my view.

Indeed the views expressed in so many of your posts convinces me that the genie of Jew-hatred has been uncorked well and truly as a result of the General Assembly vote.

You are giving comfort and support to those who want to exacerbate the conflict - not resolve it.

"Indeed the views expressed in so many of your posts convinces me that the genie of Jew-hatred has been uncorked well and truly as a result of the General Assembly vote," says the Singer.

Well, his mischievous article has achieved its objective: to detract from the U.N. vote which showed strong support for Palestine, and to play the boring 'Jews are Victims' lament, and to accuse anyone who doesn't support Jewish brutality and aggression and imperialism as 'anti-semitic'.

The only way to stop Singer's propaganda is to ignore him totally. Folks, he is playing us for suckers!
