If we tell the truth... that the progressive movement has made a home of itself to anti-Semitic anti-Zionists... it could hurt Obama's chances for reelection, and that is simply unacceptable.
If we seek the truth about the relationship between the progressive movement and the anti-Zionist Left it is something akin to being a Republican... and you know how icky they are.
The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.
True?
No?
And why is it that Barack Obama met with the Muslim Brotherhood in spring of '09, shortly before helping to usher them into power during the ironically named "Arab Spring"?
Why was that, do you suppose?
And how is it that Barack Obama could compare the rise of radical Islam to "those patriots in Boston who refused to pay taxes to a King, or the dignity of Rosa Parks as she sat courageously in her seat"?
The purpose of this site is to discuss the relation between the progressive left and anti-Semitic anti-Zionism.
The purpose of this site is to discuss the failure of the progressive-left to acknowledge the rise of the Jihad throughout the Middle East since Obama has become president.
And, of course, the purpose of this site is to discuss just how it is that Barack Obama threw any possibility for a peaceful resolution to the Arab-Israel conflict into the toilet, while claiming that Jews need to search their souls if they want peace.
Have you looked around the world? America and Israel already are among the better places. Some people want it to continue and understand that there are many that do not.
And by the way, YOU are no less involved in worrying about others, calling them deranged and using religion for political reasons. Indeed, your talk is no more FOR something than anyone else's.
And when you worried about "Israel Firsters" it WAS disgusting.
You see, everything you criticize in others you are doing yourself.
The thesis is that there is too much antisemitic behavior among and tolerated by the progressives and Democrats.
I think it applies more to the former than the latter, but reasonable minds may differ.
I suggest that the evidence is seen every day, and that you have your head in the sand, too busy worrying about Romney the Mormon.
I think that your claim to be the protector of Jews is laughable. When someone steps forth to show actions that constitute threats, you call them names.
You ridicule others, but it takes no courage what you do either.
Nothing much from you on the Harvard Conference, or Apartheid Week, but you bravely come down on Santorum.
Can you point to a single American Jew who believes support for Israel is contrary to American interests and yet supports Israel anyway?
I thought not.
Whether you appreciate it or not, your diary encourages the view that American jews who support Israel are "israel firsters" who should be condemned. Your diary encourages the idea that American Jews have dual loyalties. You made Walt and Mearsheimer proud.
Doodad,
ReplyDeleteI thought that we already had this conversation.
The problem is just a few fringe people on Daily Kos and that's pretty much it.
Are you claiming that two major progressive organizations, Media Matters and the Center for American Progress harbor anti-Semitic anti-Zionists?
This is not possible because I have it on good authority that a few fringe people on Daily Kos are pretty irrelevant.
Can you EVER forgive me? I keep forgetting...
DeleteWell, that's fine, but watch it next time, OK?

Hi VB,
ReplyDeletethanks for dropping by.
So, what do you think of this assertion?
The progressive movement, and the activist base of the Democratic Party, creates and supports venues that demonize and defame the Jewish state, thereby also creating hatred toward the Jewish people.
True?
No?
And why is it that Barack Obama met with the Muslim Brotherhood in spring of '09, shortly before helping to usher them into power during the ironically named "Arab Spring"?

You don't like it?
Too bad.
And you are sacrificing what pray tell?

Nor do you!!
ReplyDeleteOne more thing. I do not say who is a good Jew or a bad one. I leave that to you to decide, as you will.
ReplyDeleteJust as I do not know who you are, you do not know about me. Yet you have seen fit to classify me and call me a liar.
I do know, however, that you act like a thin skinned child.

As Hoodoo said regarding your diary:
