Panel: Anti-Semitism on rise around world, online

[The Ripper]

Anti-Islamism is caused by anti-Western Muslims in Europe who not only refuse to respect European culture, but openly express their desire to see it destroyed.

That should only translate to anti-immigrationism. Anti-Islamism (which always entails a pro-Israel stance) as championed by people like Geert Wilders is something different altogether, even if it feeds on the malcontent caused by irresponsible immigration policy.

These stories of blood libel etc are getting old. These kind of views are mostly held by Islamic extremists and some retarded nutcases in the US and Europe.

Legitimate criticism can be brought against Israel's policies, however.

Jews are a very ethno-centric group and one can't really fault them for that. But to label all Jews as evil is stupid.

[Flintlocke]

The Jews are using the right tactics for themselves and we should never criticize them for doing what we wanna do.

[The Ripper]

Israel and Jews should be criticized for what they do, not for who they are. If Jewish communities act against the interests of ethnic and cultural preservation & development in Europe, European preservationists should feel free to criticize such acts. There is no need to tread on egg shells.

Legitimate criticism can be brought against Israel's policies, however.

It can be, but in practice it's much like the old criticism against South Africa, i.e., selectively employed by Third Worldists and anti-Western leftists that concentrates fire on those two countries whilst ignoring the more abusive human rights policies of their neighbors around them. Anti-Zionism is strikingly similar to 80s anti-apartheid activism in the US - fueled by college students, liberal churches, et al. even to the point that we see the same kinds of divestment campaigns and propaganda.

[Flintlocke]

Whenever their interests go against ours then of course, but what they do to Palestinians I don't care one bit.

[Defiance]

Anti-Islamism (which always entails a pro-Israel stance)

Absolutely untrue, and I'm proof of that.

But to label all Jews as evil is stupid.

Nobody said that ALL Jews are evil. But the fact of the matter is that there are good reasons why the Jewish race has been universally loathed since the dawn of time.

[The Ripper]

Absolutely untrue, and I'm proof of that.

No, you're not. You're an American and have little to do with political European anti-Islamism of the Wilders-kind.

Panel: Anti-Semitism on rise around world, online

A chilling rise in anti-Semitism is erupting around the world, exacerbated by deniers who claim the Holocaust never happened and fueled by the ease of spreading hate speech on the Internet.

Chilling and gloomy? Who wrote this article, Abe Foxman?

Questioning a historical event doesn't lead to racial hatred, for the record. Fucking retards.

I think its not an overstatement to claim that many of these "questioners" are however motivated by "racial hatred". Not all, perhaps not even most, but Holocaust denial is very much a political matter among what Joe might call "fingers".
