Whatever a Jew has between him and a fellow human being is to be addressed between them.

Nixon??<br /><br />Come on Karma...<br /><br />@ Doodad - I don't know, ask the Republicans how much is acceptable - the extreme end of their party is pretty anti-Semitic. <br /><br />As far as I am concerned no anti-Semitism is acceptable but it is a fact of life. So what do we do? We fight it whether we are Democrat or Republican within our own "house". <br /><br />Anti-Semitism doesn't just exist on the Left, in fact I would bet anything it is far more prevalent on the Right.volleyboy1http://progressivezionist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-39020334469557634222011-10-07T16:54:50.575-07:002011-10-07T16:54:50.575-07:00So Kos has come and gone and the message is still ...So Kos has come and gone and the message is still the same to paraphrase the Doobie Brothers<br /><br />"Antisemitism is just alright with me, Antisemitism is just alright, oh yeah<br />Antisemitism is just alright with me, Antisemitism is just alright <br /><br />I don't care what they may say<br />I don't care what they may do<br />I don't care what they may say<br />Antisemitism is just alright, oh yeah<br />Antisemitism is just alright <br /><br />Antisemitism is just alright with me, Antisemitism is just alright, oh yeah<br />Antisemitism is just alright with me, Antisemitism is just alright <br /><br />I don't care what they may know<br />I don't care where they may go<br />I don't care what they may know<br />Antisemitism is just alright, oh yeah"<br /><br />Same old tune; same old dKos.Doodadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03349941094682080146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-38495131552849357482011-10-07T16:33:01.340-07:002011-10-07T16:33:01.340-07:00Just how much antisemtism is acceptable?

You just refuse to even consider the ...I disagree.<br /><br />You just refuse to even consider the proposition. It is not just about Daily Kos, it is about the progressive-left more generally.<br /><br />That includes all sorts of venues that are home to anti-Zionists, such as the Huffington Post and the UK Guardian and so forth.<br /><br />It is thus the movement itself which is the problem.<br /><br />Furthermore, I am not saying that the entire movement is anti-Semitic. What I am arguing is that the movement provides a home to anti-Semitic anti-Zionism and therefore we should stop supporting the movement.<br /><br />Furthermore, I have said nothing about the Republicans one way or the other. The Republican party is more supportive of Israel. That's true. But I have not advocated for them.<br /><br />I am saying that it is long, long past time to acknowledge the obvious.<br /><br />And it is more than obvious that the Left is a home to anti-Zionism.<br /><br />You know it as well as I. The only difference is that I object enough to stop supporting the movement and the party.<br /><br />If Jews should reject anti-Zionism then we need to reject the sources of anti-Zionism and among those sources is the progressive movement.Mike L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06450806807610560873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-37138695311836223532011-10-07T15:12:15.470-07:002011-10-07T15:12:15.470-07:00starts at sundown,

Because this is one do...How is your logic faulty? <br /><br />Because this is one douchenozzle anonymous waste of space on the intertoobs. Not the entire progressive or Democratic Left not too mention the Democratic party. <br /><br />I can show you individual statements of people on the Right that are anti-Semitic from Glenn Beck on forward. Does that make the entire conservative movement in the U.S. anti-Semitic? <br /><br />You know, Karma - I grew up in a small Irish/Italian working class town in NY with very few Jews. This town would be on the cover of "Teabagger Monthly" it was that conservative. There was a fuckload of anti-Semitism there, but not everyone was an anti-Semite. However, using your logic as posted I would be saying all Republicans and Conservatives are anti-Semites.<br /><br />What this comment and the actions of Markos Moulitsas say is that he doesn't care if his little part of the progressive left engages in "soft anti-Semitism". <br /><br />Remember the people of Team Shalom, Ha Yishuv, Elders of Zion and other groups there are also part of the Progressive/Liberal left. How about them? Are they anti-Semites??? <br /><br />Finally, this: <strong><em>"Why should we support a political movement that is home to anti-Zionists?"</em></strong><br /><br />You keep talking about leaving the Democratic party... Well do you think the Republicans are any better? I mean what party is Ron Paul the beloved candidate of Phil Weiss and MondoFront? You think the Paulbots are Pro-Zionists? The guy places high in every straw poll, he has millions of supporters. Go read about what the people on StormFront think about Ron Paul. They all support him. Hey and guess what? They are not liberal OR Progressive. <br /><br />I hope that answers your question Karma... <br /><br />BTW, G'mar Hatimah Tova I wish you and your lovely wife a peaceful Yom Kippur.volleyboy1http://progressivezionist.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6579213173749170024.post-1410994084554438232011-10-07T14:05:05.387-07:002011-10-07T14:05:05.387-07:00by the way, just what do you disagree with?
