In a thread on Faith Goldy in the Canadian section I challenged Omni for gratuitously using a reference to Jews when discussing relations between the US, Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran.
In most discussions on Israel the term “Jews” is gratuitously thrown in as an interchangeable word to describe the government of Israel, all Israelis. It is ironic because often the people who use the word this way are anti Israeli but would be the first to deny they are anti-semitic claiming not all Jews are Israelis and not all Jews are Zionists and yet they perpetuate the interchangeable use of the term Jew and Israeli.
Why do I challenge it? Because mainstream left wing critics of the state of Israel engage in this exercise. They see themselves as morally superior to ultra right wing bigots who use the same device. So I point out they are no better. In fact its usually he mainstream right, often Christian, who support Israel as a nation and do not assume all Jews are Israeli or that only Jews support Israel’s existence. In fact the supposed right wing consists of some of the most loyal defenders of Jews as a religious group or of Israel as a country.
you're pushing it - can't help yourself, hey! ... your post @1855 words is tooooooooooooo long. The, as you say, "grinning black man" is on stand-by!
by the by, good on ya for standing up for that 20-25% of the Israeli populace that is not Jewish!
The way you twisted and convoluted yourself over the simple statement member Omni made is truly the epitome of someone, you, simply starved for attention.
Oh then maybe that's why Trump gave the Saudis billions worth of hi-tech US weaponry so as to stop Iran from trying that. He wants to protect his bum buddy Netanyahu. And of course we all know how much the Saudis like Jews!
