>>I agree that many of the accusations are bogus and as stated indicate hatred for Jews, religious or secular (non-Jewish Jews).<<
That is a positive acknowledgement, something that has been sorely lacking here.
>>However, to state statistics that Jews have a strong presence in media, entertainment, publishing, and finance, is not hateful, per se.Nor is it a crime to be in those positions.<<
The way Vidrine and others paint those statistics and infer nefarious doings and dark conspiracies against non-Jews because of those positions is pure anti-semitism. I'm glad you said it is not a crime to be in those positions. Vidrine, apparently from his postings, believes it is a crime for a Jew to be in those positions.
>>It is only when those positions are used to finance settlements (shtetlments), buy weaponry, steal American military secrets, establish non-profit organizations and charities(tax-deductible from US taxes), send that money to Isra'El, slant the news, create movies, television programs, literature, religious dialogue that is half-truthful, does it become problematic and should be questioned and revealed to the public.<<
Most of the news I see is slanted towards the Palestinians as the victims. So if Jews are in charge of the media and have a bias towards Israel, it is not apparent from what I read. As far as movies and television programs, again, what are you seeing? I don't recall any movies lately being positive about Israel or Arabs, mostly superheroes seem to be in to me...
>>FYI, Isra'El is the most dangerous place for a Jew to be.<<
You do understand the historical reasons the country of Israel was created. What I'm not sure you can grasp is the absolute, overwhelming suffering of Holocaust survivors and the world opinion that something had to be done for these displaced people. I could tell you stories you would never believe could occur by humans, witnessed and experienced by eyes far too young for exposure. Without this background, it may be understandably difficult for you to appreciate what Israel means to these people and their children, and why it would never be given up.
