This whole thread is ridiculous. Many of you are just a bunch of the very racists and bigots that you claim you hate.
You have taken one mans statement and applied it to an entire race and the believers of two religions. That is racist and religious bigotry at its
best.
I have seen many of JanusFin's posts during my time lurking on ATS and the majority of them are anti-jewish. So I guess you can be a racist on here
as long as you are racist against the right group of people or bigoted against certain religions.
Then to go on to say you replaced God with UFO's just adds to the ridiculouness.
I am so sick of people trying to undermine religion by taking the hate speech of one man and trying to apply it to a whole religion or a whole race of
people. That is Nazism at its finest.
While I understand your dismay and anger, I must disagree with your assertion that being angry with what this Rabbi said automatically makes you a
racist or bigot. I do see how you think that people are generalizing, but I think that most of the posters on this thread and others like it aren't
suggesting that all Jews are like this. They do need to be clearer in their accusations, however.
I equate it to how many overseas look at America, especially when Bush was in office. They said "oh those dang American's" when really it was the
policies and practices of our government that they were angry at.
I think the same applies to these threads that say "Oh those dang Israelis". It's the policies and practices of the government that we are
criticizing. Many Isrealis actually want the fighting to end. The government does not.
I would also like to point out that while you criticized posters in this thread for generalizing, you also did the same thing when you took one
posters comments of God and UFO's and applied those comments to all of us.
I have nothing against Jewish people WHATSOEVER! I do, however, HATE what the Jewish government has been doing to it's Palestinian neighbors and the
hate that spews out of their mouths against Muslims. Same goes for the Muslims, only the actions of the Jews are disproportionate to those of their
Arab neighbors. I suggest you see
this site to understand what I am talking about.
I for one do not want to support ANY GOVERNMENT, be it Muslim, Jew, and even my own here in America, that thinks that these levels of violence will
solve anything. Especially when most of the rhetoric they ALL use have strong religious undertones. I don't like my tax dollars going to support
these governments.
