In your mind anyone who supports Israel’s right to exist is a right-wing Likudnik and a shill for AIPAC. Therefore, anyone who believes the opposite is an anti-semite.

Don’t like it? Tough.

To make this easy for you to grasp, I’m going couch this reply in your own pet phrases and tactics, You’ll recognise them as I apply them.  There are three ‘Shergaldisms’ in this reply – can you find all three?

Your antisemitism is communicated via code words.  Just as you see racism in things people say which clearly aren’t racist, and you label them ‘code words’ for racism, most of us see your deeply-held opposition to and enmity toward a free Jewish state in the Middle East in the ‘code words’ you use whenever the subject comes up. 

The way your comments differ from the original overtly antisemitic comment to which you responded is that you you’re more subtle and nuanced in your anti-semitism.  You code your antipathy for Jews into broadsides about Zionism and other anti-Israeli rhetoric.  But most of us can see that for what it is – code words for “I support the people who would destroy Israel given half a chance.”

As mighty points out, you label anyone who believes a Jewish state has a right to exist a radical Islamophobe and a Zionist.  But to protect yourself from charges of antisemitism, you engage in the deceptive pretext of agreeing Israel has a right to exist, but then finding that everything they do to ensure that existence is wrong, evil and anti-Islam.

And that, my dogmatic ideologue friend, is intellectualised, highly rationalised and nuanced antisemitism – to coin one of your stupid “-ophobia” words – let’s call it Judiophobia.

It comes straight from your proclivity to stereotype and generalise people into neat groups which you can then use to demonise them as individuals.  We hear if from you every day – all conservatives are evil, all Republicans are evil, all Israel supporters are evil, all people who question Al Gore are evil, etc.  A broken freakin’ record of the politics of group and class warfare.  You rarely deal with people as individuals, you treat them as representative of a group in order that that you can apply your hatred of that group to them as an individual.  Reading your mewlings is very much like watching Two Minutes Hate.on the telescreen, if you get the reference.

Go ahead and proffer up your pro forma denial.  I know I’m expecting it.  But regardless of your denials, your actions tell a much different story.  After commenting here for as long as you have, most everyone has had ample chance to observe your long-standing antipathy toward a free Jewish state in the Middle East.  As you often say, “it’s duly noted”.

What a rant. You ought to take a look at left wing Jewish American perspectives about Israel and what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for years, sites like
Mondoweiss, +972, or Tikun Olam, or perhaps take a trip to Israel and read the left wing over there about the same thing, or just read the damned newspapers.
Your rant divulges just a lot of ignorance about the conflict.

But what is perhaps the worst is that you display hackneyed Israeli propaganda, that anyone who criticizes Israel is anti-Semitic. You conflate Israelis and Jews, and then go on with the usual canards about Israel’s existence. That sort of places you in category of the most ignorant. Israel has existed for over 60 years; Palestine does not exist and the right wing Likud government in place has no intention of allowing it to come into existence.

Do you work for GIYUS by any chance? I have read the same garbage from their kind many times.

“But what is perhaps the worst is that you display hackneyed Israeli propaganda, that anyone who criticizes Israel is anti-Semitic.”

In the past you have claimed that anyone who criticizes a black person is a racist, anyone who criticizes the “progressive” tax system hates poor people, and anyone who criticizes the palestinians and/or Islam hates muslims.

We’re just using your own argument against you.

“Do you work for GIYUS by any chance? I have read the same garbage from their kind many times.”

Of course. Because anyone who disagrees with you that the Israelis are eeevil must be part of some sinister, shadowy conspiracy organized by a political front group (usually Jewish-run groups, for extra anti-semitic flavor).

I love how in one paragraph you complain about us promoting “hackneyed propaganda” and then employ it yourself in your next paragraph.

Your rant divulges just a lot of ignorance about the conflict.

And you response demonstrates your inability to extract the meaning out of what you read.

None, I repeat, none of what I wrote in my “rant” was about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.  It was about you, and your antisemitism.

You come back with some wild-eyed crapola which is either an elaborate self-justification or an attempt to just avoid dealing with what most people see in your behaviour – antisemitism.
