He is an anti-Zionist, and therefore gets reflexively called anti-semitic

Please explain to me which part of the following sentence is anti-Zionist but not anti-Semitic: The Europeans killed six million Jews out of 12 million. But today the Jews rule this world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them.


Even if he said, as you claim

It is the conquering, colonizing Jews and Christians who he identifies as Islam's enemies

That still implies wiping out 5 million Israeli Jews would be the way forward for the Muslim world. Can you not see the obvious, absolute absurdity of blaming the problems of Malaysia, of the Whole Bleeping Muslim World on the creation of Israel on a tiny sliver of the Middle East?

As Bernard Lewis notes, the answer to "Who did this to us?" is not pragmatism of any sort, but "Let's kill him!" or "We can't kill him, let's wallow in grievance". The wrong question produces the wrong answers.

Jacob,

I find it amazing that you are defending this man and his words. He specifically uses the word Jew and re-iterates all of the worst stereotypes, yet you search for postive messages in the drivel.

This is the same man who views his own citizens of Chinese heritage as the Jews of Asia. It was not meant as a complement.

John

<< He is advocating exactly the kind of practical compromise, that would allow peace for Israel.>>

And that's a bad thing?
