  I disagree with you on Steels comments..

  Because of this Palestinian slaughter....Israel and it's actions with its' neighbors have been put under a microscope for the world to see..

  I see nothing wrong with anyone saying that the policies(Israel) are racists-becasue they are..

  so am I gonna bowdown to the "antisemite charge" that some want to use as subterfuge to stop the argumet?

  Nope.

  The other common propaganda tactics are to" demonize the other-to make him/her less human and therefore easier to declare war on..

  Another tactic is to throw the argument-by ignoring questions you don't want to answer--while putting your own up..(Win)

  The other tactic besides calling "antisemite" is loon, LIBRUL....or other namecalling immaturity.

  I guess what I'm getting at..is that people around the world jsut didn't really realize how racist the Israeli govt. and it's policies were towards Palestianians...

  Steele posted one I'd seen about the Rabbi condemning Arabs..

  I'd read another today about how at the Dead Sea (where Palestinians used to own all of the waterfront land)-Israelis had banned Palestinians from going there (the only beach,source of water Palestinaians had.)

  I've seen some arts in Haaretz about the propaganda of Israelis from a young age-to condemn Arabs (schoolbooks...).

  So the "anti-semite"gets thrown up all the time---that's to throw sand in the umps eyes..

  so stay on track..and don't let your argument get hijacked..by someone like this...becasue the throwing of the "antisemite card-is just a form of bigotry too...and it's usually projection..

  It's just that trolls come out..or those screaming it...think if they are louder...OR ALLCAP...they can intimidate whomever they debate.

  So these are all things that we are just now uncovering...and it's becasue we are NOT backing down anymore to intimidation-over getting to the truth..

  The truth is that Israel is being exposed for truth now...and cannot dictate to the media and msm to slant stories favorably-in light of reality (UN, RED CROSS, Humanitarian aid workers can attest to).

  They don't like it either.

  The truth hurts..but sometimes someone-or many of us-have to keep at it/stay focused/keep hammering..

  Hurling insults "antiSemite" at me or "You're hurting my feelings" is not gonna work with me...

  Israel needs to be held accountable for their actions.
