Current Events

A snapshot from "Indymedia."

Here.

A fascinating cross-section of the Left. Anti-Semitism, those who condemn the antisemitism, and the large group that excuses it by saying hatred of Israel isn't really anti-Semitism.

Is that so?

One thing I've always wondered: If Israel was a Muslim nation, but still seen as occupying another group's perceived territory, would the hatred across the Arab world be as vicious as it is now?

How many current Arab nations in the former Ottoman Empire have borders created from whole cloth by Europeans much like Israel was? Are they considered illegitimate now?

If you subtract "Jewish" from Israel, what do you get?

You have Arab nations persecuting Palestinians, like most of them have. And nobody cares. You have Syria, occupying the nation of Lebanon. And nobody cares.

Sorry, folks. Hatred of Israel is largely the hatred of Jews. And it doesn't take much browsing on Islamic web sites to see that made specific.
