Racists and antiSemites love to hide in the shadows, and only strike when they can't be caught or confronted

If SI is a gauge for society, it is becoming downright politically correct to be anti-jew/israeli/israel/american. I guess they got bored with the shadows.

Still, you have to admire OBL's strategy. By killing a few thousand people and taking down a couple of buildings, he has successfully focused the blame of the world's problems on the U.S. and Israel. What is disgusting is how many people, including Americans, played right into his plan.

>> What is equally interesting is the line that they are not antiSemitic, while they spew insults about Jews, Zionism and Israel. <<

i don't mind being called anti-semitic. by all means, go right ahead.

>> I have found most antiSemitic people to be cowards <<

that's funny. most of the people (whom you deem to be anti-semitic) on these threads appear to post under their real name. many of our detractors who jump to the defense of israel and jews post under pseudonyms. so who are the cowards?

>> They are afraid of being called antiSemitic, because it would turn people against them <<

like i said, by all means call me whatever you like. taking time to deny your charges of anti-semitism is a waste of time, only serving to divert attention from the critical issues at hand.

>> Just recently, an American woman was in Gaza, actually trying to help the Palestinians by convincing them that peace was better than terrorism. She was pushed in front of a bulldozer by one of the Palestinian terrorists and murdered. Then the Palestinians blamed Israel for her death. <<

it's always the fault of the arabs and never the fault of the jews.
