48. Bullshit.
Firstly, Nazi comparisons get you banned here.

And I do not accuse Israel of Genocide. I do believe they are out to undermine and destroy Palestinian society, to make it impossible for Palestinians to ever have a state. That belief is easily buttressed by facts.


Like I answered you on the Oliphant thread:


Your post is ironic, because you do more teacherly correcting, as though you have the authority to discern what is and is not bigoted/correct/appropriate/helpful, as though you are the true repository of the best interests of both sides.


A perfect example was my swarthy man comment above. Oberliner asked about Muslim offense at the use of the crescent. That's no parallel. People are openly, unashamedly bigoted towards Arabs in this country. On TV, movies, radio, internet, print, etc. You know that's true. Critics don't have to sneak in symbols to be subversive. They come right out with it. That is patently obvious. Yet you find it necessary to accuse me of "drama" and "hyperbole." Even Bemildred came up with examples to support my POV. You were dead wrong. But I don't chase you around pointing that out. Bemildred's post spoke for itself.

My goal in posting here is not to get people to use PC language, but to get them to re-think! I dream that one day LB and Oberliner will think differently about this stuff. I don't give a rat's behind about posters like Shira and BTA. And I assume they feel the same way about me.

I make no bones about my partisanship on this issue. Not sure why it so clearly drives you crazy. And frankly, I don't really care.
