(34,845 posts)If one's criticism of Israel and religion goes too far, there is an observable moment when, "Ah-ha! You're anti-semitic!" becomes the call of the hour.
But at the end of the day, one can always put on one's magic clothes and read something from a magic listology and all will be well.
There was an OP with a photo of a beautiful young woman kneeling to light a candle in sympathy with the Palestinians. Beautiful, comfortable, safe. No evidence of outrage, she was simply doing something that looked cool in a photo.
And that's how it is with the religious nuts, too. So long as they are comfortable, it isn't 'fair' to call attention to what their religion has wrought.
