Object: Is atheism anti-semitic?
Is atheism anti-semitic?
As a member of a minority persecuted on religious
grounds, I am sensitive to other's beliefs.
I am all for freedom of thought.
I don't care what you believe about deities
as long as you believe in equal rights and
the equality of human kind.
The problem is that most religions (Buddhism
perhaps being an acception) contain claims of
unique moral or divine status of their adherents.
That is bigotry.
I enjoy skewering those who would claim
such status, regardless of their religion.
If one challenges the posed unique moral or divine
status of a group one can expect reprobration.
If one levels the challenge at Judaism, a charge
of anti-semitism seems assured.
What is anti-semitism?
Is challenging the tenets of Judaism
anti-semitic?
Is anti-semitism racism?
Is atheistic disbelief in the tenets of
Judaism anti-semitic?

Oh my, the shock, the Palestinians start fighting back


No, they started fighting, period.
*Israel* is fighting BACK.

Only if you shift the definition of "they" to conveniently fit
whatever time period we're talking about.

when they're

under a systematic campaign by certain Israelis to wipe them out!


This is, of course, a complete lie.

Maybe you should pay more attention to what the fanatical nutjob West
Bank settlers are saying.

With all the capabilities that people like you like to whine about, if this
were Israel's goal, she'd've done it GENERATIONS ago.

I didn't say it was Israel's goal, I said it was the goal of certain
Zionist fanatics. (By "Zionist fanatics" I mean people who believe
that GAWD gave them EVERY INCH of Canaan, therefore all heathens must
leave.)

As it is, the Palestinian population has increased geometrically.

Birthrates are high throughout the Middle East. Young people begin to
outnumber older people. So?

Either Israel is the world's most incompentent "genociders" or you are not
only wrong, but ignorant.

I blame the state of Israel for its complicity in what's going on, but
I do not claim any sort of collective or official intent. (Sharon
himself is another matter.) However, what goes for the goose also goes
for the gander. Israel is no more a special case than any other
country. Genocidal attempts are typically driven by a few fanatics,
but allowed to pass by the silent majority, who either adopt a "see no
evil, hear no evil, speak no evil" approach (like, say, Americans when
you bring up dirty wars in Central Americans, or the Japanese w/r/t
the Rape of Nanjing) or tacitly approve of what's going on even as
they shy away from the implications. I mean, doesn't everyone want
their side to win? Doesn't anyone forget that the other side are human
beings as soon as the bombs start going off?

The only genocides planned are those authorized and ordered

how Israel is the most open and tolerant society in a part of the

murder.



What negative stereotype is he propogating?


That Israel is a theocracy (sic) and devil. Can't blame all Israeli for
what moron Sharon do.


Ariel Sharon, unlike his enabler Dubya, is not a moron. He is a war
criminal.

Not that can ever be proven.


Israel is a republican democracy, not a theocracy, and for Clayton to
make such a charge is just silly.

However, to defend Israel by pointing out that it's better than the
theocracies and dictatorships that surround it, is like praising
Twinkies because they're more wholesome than rotten apples.

WHich is why people who know the truth don;t have to do that.
Israel's

free society isn't much consolation if you're an unemployed
Palestinian being harrassed daily by the Israeli military and
encroached by fanatical--and yes, they are fanatical--settlers.

Yeah, let's just abolish all the checkpoints because it's so cruel to the
poor Palestinians.
After all, it's only Jews, & not just Israelis, that are being killed.
good grief.

I never said Israel should abolish security checkpoints. Plenty of
nutters are trying to kills Israelis every day--reasonable security
measures are warranted.
Bringing in bulldozers to destroy villages because supposedly
somebody's son from that village is a terrorist is NOT a reasonable
security measure. Not only is it a violation of due process and human
rights, but it can be plausibly said that such tactics BREED
terrorism.
Stopping terrorists and illicit weapons at the border stops crime.
Attacking an already marginalized group with high unemployment and
nowhere to go^1 only undermines rule of, and respect for, the law.
1--"They can just go to other Arab countries" is a myth. Palestinians
did attempt to flee Israel in great numbers and they were turned away
by their "arab brothers".

Arabs under Israeli rule are free to leave for any one of the 22 countries

mistreating them. Could it be that they know that they're treated better
by the Israelis than they'd be by the Arabs of any of the 22 Arab States

The people who possess the land own it and decide whose homeland it is.
Should Jews who were evicted from all the Arab lands they lived in for
centuries return to those lands and claim them for themselves with violence
if necessary? Should the Jewish State aid them to that end?

Is that so? Strange answer since I stipulated 'a time prior to the

Probably Clayton called Israel a theocracy because there are people in
Israel who believe that Israel is Canaan and that God gave it to the
Jewish people, and therefore everybody else--including Palestinians,
whose families have lived there for thousands of years--had better
leave. If they don't leave, the nutjobs have decided that they can
just kill them, like great Jewish hero Joshua. Joshua, if he were
alive today, would be considered more vile than Slobodon Milosevic. I
consider the West Bank settlers to be likewise vile. They have no
right to encroach upon other people's land, and to harass, humiliate,

Oh my, the shock, the Palestinians start fighting back when they're

The problem how to achieve peace and end violance, as between Israeli
and Palestinians, is not an easy one. A lot of work was done on this
direction
and yet no satisfactory solution was found.
I know there are people who side with a "solution" of eliminating one
side
of the conflict or the other. This can be achieved only with
devastating price of human lives, to the contrary of the good
intentions of all who abhor violence and want this to end.
The problem , no it seems, extends beyond lack of goodwill. There are
great differences between the aspirations of the two sides to the
conflict,
that were not resolved so far. Violence did not errupt in vaccum, just
like that.
Regardinng war crimes of Sharon, AFAIK Sabra and Shatila are not a
clear case
against Sharon. The massacre there was detestable and horrible .But
was it done
with the knowledge of Sharon or with his aproval? Did he wanted it to
happen?
Was it a matter of crime or a negligence on behalf of Sharon?
If these questions are not an issue for you then you should also put
on trial for crimes against humanity the former leaders and commanders
of Nato in the time of Serbrenica massacre when they gathered
thousands of Muslim
refugees, not allowing them to escape from Serbrenica and then did
nothing
when Serbes murdered thousands in days - just to keep their hands
clean.
Or even lets put the UN chairman Kofi Annan for his role of letting
the Genocide in Rwanda go on undisturbed without any intervention of
the international community.
But it is easier to condemn The Jewish Sharon then to condemn Kofi
Annan,
or politicians and generals from Europe or even US.
As was stated here - Dubya is just a dumb, but Sharon is a war
criminal.

Yassir Arafat had ordered many terror operations against civilians,
either by specifically supervising an operation (such as the
kidnapping
of the cruis ship Achile Lauro) or by leading an organisation that
had declared the terrorism as its tool. Arafat also ordered murdering
of
political opponents who disagreed with his ways.
Recently ,dosens of palestinians were executed without a trial after
being accused of collaborating with Israeli armed forced, under
Arafat's
rule.

|
| To the extent that he ordered attacks against innocent civilians,
| absolutely.
|
| I personally don't doubt that Arafat wanted what was best for his
| people, but, like certain Americans I know, he chose a stupid and
| self-defeating way to try to get it. Terrorism is like the child in
| the kindergarten classroom who acts out to get attention. Sure, it
| works--to get attention. Unfortunately you don't get anything else you
| want; in fact, you'll probably get punished.
|
| Both the Palestinians and the Israelis have been answering violence
| with more violence, in the mistaken belief that this will "intimidate"
| or "wake up" the other side, or somehow sway the "reasonable
| moderates" (not! it just radicalizes them!). But in the end, all the
| violence gets them is more people dead.
|
| Certain members of the US Cabinet could learn a thing or two from
| this.
