No, I am saying that the Belgium court probably will not be fair. Then can I safely say that you are prejudiced towards the said court in Belgium, since you do not seem to know of anything that would support this view except an expectation that the judges will be Christian (You do not even know that. They may be atheists for all you know)? it is a fact that anti-semitism is fundamental to Christianity That is news to me. Failure to prejudge has proved fatal in the past. Do you really see a parallel between a court in Belgium judging Sharon and Nazis' organized massacre of each and every Jewish person they could find? Going with this reasoning, would you say Jews should always assume others are anti-Semite and out to get them, because of the Nazi genocide? was merely applying YOUR term to more Arabs than the Lebanese Christians you applied it to. The difference is that I did not call ALL LEBANESE CHRISTIANS "bloodthirsty thugs", just the ones who massacred the Palestinian civilians, women and children, in those three days they were let loose to play in Palestinian camps. As you pointed out, I am very close to Arabs genetically, so it is really "ethnic vitriol" I am spewing, not "racist." As you wish :-) By the way, I am always confused with the use of the word "racism" - Nazi attitude towards Jews is called "racism", although "Jew" is not a race. Would it be appropriate to call the prejudice towards Muslims that we see more and more these days "racism" as well?
