Neocon,
What do you mean by anti-Zionism? Please enlighten me!! See, I think that the time's over now for anti-Zionism... I'm a pragmatic guy so why should I stick to an opinion which basically calls for... reversing History? Bringing all the Jews currently living in Israel back to their ''former'' homelands?? Including all the Israeli kids who were born in Israel and have never known another country?
Hey, I'm not that cruel! It's just too late to debate such an issue: remember that even the PLO Assembly has removed the ''destruction of Israel'' fine print from its organic Charter. And since I personally don't have any stake in the Middle East, I guess that all I want/wish for the people living over there is what any other sensible person might want, that is ''peace and love'' for the whole lot of them!
As far as anti-Judaism goes, let me tell you that I've long ago given up listening to all this BS devoutness! We have a nice word in French, which is bondieuserie and which I'd translate as good-lord-stuff, and let me tell you that I make no difference between a Baptist reverend, a Catholic priest, an imam, a buddhist monk, a Jewish rabbi, and a Scientologist quack! I lump them all together...
Neocon, you should remember what I told you before: society is a patchwork encompassing diverse communities, ethnic groups, and sociological strata that all pursue their own agendas. To deny such an evidence is either stupid ignorance or conspiratorial duplicity. Some people like you don't want to acknowledge such a truth: people like you would delude themselves with fairy tales such as ''we're all one family'', ''we all stick together'', ''don't listen to these birds of ill omen hinting at dividing lines between us'', and so on...
Now, I tell you that fostering such a hive-ideology is nevertheless counterproductive: people should not be duped into believing that their society is a crystalline and flawless fabric. Instead, they should take on their differences, and they should learn how to cope with different people. In short, they should try to eliminate fear.
