Alright, so I'm really sick and tired of being called every name in the book.

Zionist.
Anti-Semite.
Jew Hater.
Nazi.

The list goes on.

I am NOT an anti-semite. Moving forward the alert button will be my best friend. Call me a coward, call me a crybaby I don't care. I will no longer personnaly allow my topics or topics that I am engaged in to devolve into convoluted nonsense. Be advised if you choose to name call, you will be called out.

Those who are critical of Israel and her policies are not ALL anti-semites. I am sure there are those who are, as they exist in the world in substantial numbers I am not defending them in any way.

What I am defending is my right to question a government or a people who continually break international law and create a human rights crisis.

I am opposed to this happening on both sides, be it Palestinian Or Israeli.

Please, stop disrupting meaningfull and intelligent conversation with nonsense. There is NO reason to turn ATS into a poo flinging partisan session of our current Senate.

We are here to deny ignorance and to discuss and hash out the issues at hand. Not to argue amongst ourselves and name call when there are so many more important issues going on in the world today.

So class, let's go over what we've learned.

When somebody says the dislike something Israel has done, don't just the anti-semite gun. Kill 'em with logic and kindness instead. You will only inflame the conversation and derail the thread with name calling.

When somebody does call you out as being an anti-semite, don't worry and don't respond to their acusations. Alert the mods if you feel you have been wrongly targeted and they will take the appropriate action.


Sometimes I honestly think there is a conspiracy by some to make sure that all Israeli topics get derailed an shut down without getting to the point of the original story or an understanding of what is going down in the big picture.

Edit To Add: This thread is NOT intended to be a for or against in regards to Israel, this thread is FOR the continuity of intelligent debate and meaningfull discussion among our members on the topic of Israel.

Who's the blame is irrelevant for what's going on, everybody has blood on their hands. This thread is to discuss the rising problem of name calling and ignorance among those who support and those who do not support Israel in the topics which it comes up.

Kind Regards,

~Keeper

real reason israeli say anti-semite is because invading israeli that look like benjamin netanyu is no semite, but khazar man that steal land and come from mongolia. see for self, search khazar / edomite and other stuff on google. to prevent truth, khazar man use reverse psychology to keep you saying "we are anti policy, not jews". they want you to tell them they are jews, because the truth is they are not. khazar man time up, and rely on lie that khazar man is hebrew. mossad kill arthur koestler because he write "The Thirteenth Tribe" book.

Everyone wants to bag Israel and say they rule the USA congress ect.

Everyone want to say they rule the political heart of Hollywood and New York ect.

But where is the proof ?

Provide it and maybe people believe the anti semites.

But I say there will be no proof, because the Jews in America are fine upstanding people who contribute to society on many levels.

They do not disrupt or vandalise they create and build continually.

People are jealous by nature, they fear those who hav emoney,power and privilege, this is understandable, but the jews have it because they worked hard and were smart.
They are not terrorists in the USA they do not promote diviseveness in the community, they are upright citizens.
We should encourage more Jewish inflluence in our midst, the alternative the Islamists is not a welcoming one .

So now the onus is on YOU to provide the proof that the above are totally untrue.

I am sick and tired of every time the word "Israel" is mentioned in any discussion, some people here immediately start hysterically screaming "ANTISEMITISM"
