LOL. Do you ever even watch the youtube videos that you keep spamming this board with? DanTex Sep 2014 #3

Roth is accusing most critics of HRW of pulling the anti-semite card.... shira Sep 2014 #5

He was directly asked about charges of anti-semitism. DanTex Sep 2014 #8

He stated on video most of his critics call him or HRW anti-semitic shira Sep 2014 #10

The reporter is the one who asked him about anti-semitism. DanTex Sep 2014 #12

He said MOST critics accuse him of antisemitism. That's bullshit. shira Sep 2014 #21

Umm, yeah, anti-Muslim hatred did flare up after 9-11. DanTex Sep 2014 #2

He was implying that the actions of Jews caused a spike in anti-semitism shira Sep 2014 #6

You are misquoting him. He said that anti-Semitism flared up "in response to Israel's actions". DanTex Sep 2014 #7

Do u believe the actions of Jews cause anti-semitic attacks to spike? n/t shira Sep 2014 #9

So you think it's just a coincidence that anti-semitism flared up after the Gaza invasion? DanTex Sep 2014 #14

Anti-semites and Islamophobes need no reason for their hate attacks.... shira Sep 2014 #15

I'm asking whether you think that the correlation is coincidental or not. DanTex Sep 2014 #16

It's not coincidental. Studies show that the more hostile people are towards Israel.... shira Sep 2014 #18

OK, so if it's not coincidental, then Ken Roth was right. DanTex Sep 2014 #19

Depends on how to read Roth (causation or correlation) shira Sep 2014 #20
