It's highly immoral, in fact, but this is what they do.<br /><br />As for the Arab-Israel conflict, the left is constantly calling Israel a racist state while entirely ignoring the far more virulent and ugly genocidal racism coming out of the Arab and Muslim majority population in the Middle East. Meanwhile racist "progressive Zionists" single out their fellow Jews in Israel for the charge of racism, but limit those charges to Jews that they do not like.<br /><br />The whole thing is insidious, really.<br /><br />I am not on the right-wing when it comes to the issues, but the left is hypocritical and revolting. As a movement they are also the enemies of Israel who tend to side with the Jihadis and the ayatollahs and the mullahs against the Jews.<br /><br />btw, I take it you noticed that progressive-left Jewish anti-Semite, David Harris Gershon, had another smear piece up demonizing Israel and throwing red meat to his fellow anti-Zionists.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-77626202493372255642013-02-03T21:59:55.236-08:002013-02-03T21:59:55.236-08:00And of course, one likely couldn't even bring ...And of course, one likely couldn't even bring this issue up in a real way at certain left wing venues, as one would almost certainly be banned as, somewhat hilariously, a 'racist,' themselves.<br /><br />I'll disagree that the progressive movement is "the most" racist movement outside of Political Islam (certain quarters of the right, unfortunately, still have quite a bit of old-fashioned ugly-as-opposed-to-humanitarian-racism racism in their ranks) today, but that's almost beside the point when I think about it. The main thing is that this strain of racism is indeed very much alive and kicking, right in there amongst the self-proclaimed 'anti-racists'...
