Hi ttbn,

You don't have to prove anything to anyone using the word 'Antisemitic'. How about the correct term: anti-Semitic? Same there, is it? What is your problem with 'anti-Semitic'? Is it when it is used to describe you? Or is it just something you don't like?

Sorry about the spelling.
I just don't like it, and as an Aussie, I feel like I'm free to criticise pretty much anything, so when there's this idea that says 'You can't criticise this' and there's a basis of merit for criticising 'this', then I think the whole idea of it is stupid.
I criticise.

Like what other country has this? None.
Anti-Mexican, self-hating Mexican, the whole thing seems idiotic.

If Ugyhurs through rocks at Chinese we'd be like Yay!
If the people of Myanmar threw rocks at the military junta we'd be like Yay!
- And we'd be like that with just about any other downtrodden people.
But if the Palestinians do it - the exact same thing, then they are terrorists and Israel has free reign to just shoot them, and it has.

"No. I use anti-Semitic to describe Jew-haters like you."
Is killing thousands of kids at a rate higher than Hitler ever did not enough reason to be critical?
(And I'm in the majority on this)

"You support anyone who thinks the same way as you do. How many of them are there who don't mind their country being terrorised?"
- There's a few, mostly orthodox Jews who don't support Zionism, I saw a video of one Orthodox Jew protesting getting bashed by police a week or so back, and their were thousands of them protesting in NY a few days back, so certainly no all Jews agree the current situation.

I may be out of comments, if so I'll get back to this when I can.

Armchair critic,
Just out of interest, is there anything on what Hitler thought of the Palestinians ?

Indyvidual

The Grand Mufti of Jerusalem at the time advised and helped Adolf Hitler with the Jewish 'problem'. Hitler didn't have much time for religion, but he said that he could work with Islam, and he did.

The National Socialists, the Marxist Socialists in their various forms now infesting the West, and the fundamentalist Muslims are at one when it comes to anti-Semitism.

Was Neville Chamberlain a Muslim? Was Franklin Roosevelt a Communist? The Palestine Regiment which fought on the Allies side during WWII consisted of both Arabs and Jews. Why does the Grand Boofhead of Australia hate Muslims, and other minorities so? But he loves Pauline Hanson, wants us all to vote for her, His kinda racists!

BTW, Hitler was a Christian! Both Protestant and Catholic churches supported Hitler.

Thanks again AC for once more providing thoughtful decent comment on the Forum.

Hi AC

"SM is right about Hamas leaders and their children living it up while the regular Palestinian lives in poverty though, but that's no different to the West really."

Quite different I would think. The fact that the head of Hamas lives elsewhere speaks volumes. Similarly, the Russian elite have substantial assets in western countries, and many have their children there as well. How many western elite have assets and kids in Brics nations? And one of my niece's sons attends school in Scotland with a Russian kid whose family emigrated to stop him becoming cannon fodder.

Hamas controls and exploits the lives of people in Gaza. They live in poverty for the same reason Russians live in poverty. It's not the same.

Hitler was not a Christian; he thought Christianity was a religion 'fit only for slaves'. His mother was a Catholic, but he followed his father, who thought all religion was a scam. He did refer to himself as a "German Christian", but that means as much as saying that Australia is a 'Christian country', when it is no such thing; it is a secular country. Calling oneself Christian to many people is just a way of saying that they are not one of the others.
