    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    True, but you can't expect Israel to just roll over and die, simply because the entire Middle East wants them to.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I'm not interested in arguing semantics with you; just understand that when I said Israel is well within their rights to end the Palestinians as a people, I wasn't talking about them killing every last one. Just their culture, which considers killing Jews (as well as other "infidels"; so don't...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    Actually we did; the the Nazis were Germany. Mostly unwillingly on the part of most Germans, true; but that resistance wouldn't have lasted if we hadn't invaded. Eventually, efforts like the Hitler Youth would have brainwashed future generations into blind obedience to Nazi ideology. When we...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I suppose we shouldn't have invaded and dismantled Nazi Germany then, and instead tried to find a way to live with Hitler. Because that is what you're saying; that destroying a culture that kills people who are considered "undesirable" is akin to genocide, and therefor wrong.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    If that's the kind of attitude we have towards our allies, we don't deserve any. At the end of the day, Israel is well within their rights to end the Palestinians as a people. The fact that they haven't, when we have decades of military adventurism and regime changes under our belt, makes them...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    To get back on topic, it is very difficult to tell weather or not someone who's disparaging Israel and the people who support that country are legitimately taking issue with the county itself, or are just using that as a cover to disguise their base bigotry against Jews. It get's a little easier...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    $10,000 a year in my city wouldn't even pay for the crappiest of apartments in my city. Heck; $20,000 a year would be pushing it, and that's just for the monthly rent.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    The play also ends with Shylock being forced to will everything he owns to Antionio's friend Lorenzo and his thieving daughter, as well as convert to Christianity. The Merchant of Venice is clearly of its time; it took until the second world war for the western world (particularly Europe) to...

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    What specifically about Biden makes him the lesser of two evil choices for you? What issues do you care about that makes Trump a no-go for you?

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    I am well aware that they have; but as far as I am aware, the ADL has never been one of them.

    Serious question about anti-Semitism.

    The ADL isn't a paramilitary organization like the IRA, with a history of committing terroristic acts (including outright killing people) in an attempt to achieve its goals. There's simply no comparison between the two organizations.
