I taught my children if everybody is against you, you are probably doing something wrong.<br /><br />Please ... just go one killing each other over there and leave me out of it! <br /><br />Oh ... give me back the Canadian passports you've stolen from the 3 Canucks on those ships .... before you misuse them like you have done n the past.Lawrence Oshanekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06495920114370476764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752027331714385066.post-36908089463418345692010-06-14T18:30:51.916-07:002010-06-14T18:30:51.916-07:00It is not anti-Semitism - the anger is not against...It is not anti-Semitism - the anger is not against Jewish people. It is anti-Zionism. It is anger against Zionism's occupation and destruction of Palestine. It is anger against Israel's attack on the Gaza flotilla and the killing of at least 9 people (some people are still missing). It is world anger and outrage at the Acts perpetrated by Israel's government and Zionists. Claiming the anger is against Jewish religion is a dodge of the horrific acts of Israel that has all the world appalled.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194762006464671519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752027331714385066.post-75213061282170571892010-06-14T11:05:06.608-07:002010-06-14T11:05:06.608-07:00At some point all our ancestors were pagan. The p...At some point all our ancestors were pagan. The problem is that the mythology of return does have an ethnic spin that no longer stands up if it ever did. All this remains central to the conflict.<br /><br />Drop the mythology and it becomes another unpleasant land grab that is difficult to rationalize. <br /><br />No one ever said that someone is not a real jew since that is matter of personal consent. However the mythology is one of purported neo ethnic continuity and that has certainly been integral to the emergence of Israel itself.<br /><br />It is really easy to understand why competing ethnic groups can develop their own counter narrative. The remaining question is how to end it all in a way that brings peace and also accepts facts on the ground.<br /><br />No one has had a good answer and too many have ample selfish reasons to promote hatred.<br /><br />We cannot pretend that the mythology however ill founded is not important because it is central to creation and existence of the Israeli state.arcleinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05942529252160087271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752027331714385066.post-74139361036685171502010-06-14T10:40:30.313-07:002010-06-14T10:40:30.313-07:00sharonsj has left a new comment on your post "...sharonsj has left a new comment on your post "AntiSemitism": <br /><br />Judaism is a religion, not a race.
