- skinkestek 6y agoIf you consequently attack women I don't care if you do it because they look feminine or because they are actually women. If you attack the only national home of the Jewish people, the only state that can be relied on to stand up for them, I don't care if you do it because they live in Israel, because they care about Jews or because they are Jews. The result is the same.
- betwixthewires 6y agoAlright, I'm pro Israel in the sense that I believe the state has the right to exist and defend itself, but this is chickenshit. You cannot just browbeat people into supporting the actions of a state by calling them racist if they don't. Israel != Judaism.
- Chris2048 6y agoYou seem to be conflating "Jews" with "Israel" on the basis that Israel is "the only national home of the Jewish people". What does that mean exactly? The Jewish race, or the Jewish religion? Do American Jews not count because they are not in the majority and/or the race/religion isn't specifically written into law? In any case, the result is indeed the same: that Israel cannot be criticised. But people are not criticising Israel because "they care for Jews", but rather for who they don't care for. TLDR; If You want to defend Israel, or attack its attackers; Do so without ad-homs, straw-men and/or unreasonable maxims.
