    Defending her racist bigoted comments?

    Interesting that anyone would try and claim rejection of her hatful remarks would amount to smearing her.

    I don't think the hard left thinks things through very far.

    It isn't my job to educate you. Your ability to use google is your problem to solve, not mine.

    No, Fred. He's just reminding us of something I've been saying for years - the only thing "progressives" really care about is power.

    She said nothing racist. Are you really so unable to distinguish racism from criticisms of organizations and policies?

    buy some new chalk; since when do the actions of some lefts attacking Christians speak for all left leaning people? why do some on the right attack Muslims when it is obviously clear that not all Muslims do not subscribe to violence nor Islamic principals?

    Then if you can't do any better than I did, why do you imply that my ability is subnormal or inadequate? You're just as bad! LOL!!!! And if you have no intention of educating me, you should be more careful about what you answer and how! LOL!!!! NTB.

    This thread could be renamed "the right does some silly race baiting and the left answers that race baiting is BS".

    Oh the double standards...

    Of course I am able to do that.

    Are you really unable to see abject bigotry and racism when it's clearly demonstrated by someone?

    Still, the FACT remains:

    Unless you are a Voter in her District, there is absolutely nothing that you can do about it, and any "opinion" rendered (by someone who is not a Voter in her District) has all of the relevance of a Hummingbird Fart in a Hurricane.

    ^That is a FACT.:salute:

    Don't shoot the messenger.:flagus:

    So says the sniper firing at anything and everything that doesn't meet your ideological agenda.

    Did you really think your post amounted to anything worthwhile?

    It wasn't "clearly demonstrated". Go ahead and quote her and analyze what she said. She criticized AIPAC and Israeli policies. She never mentioned the word "Jew".

    In post 125 I quoted her saying "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

    What's racist there? Nothing. But here is a 4.5-minute take-down of the claims against her:



    So now you have the quote, AND you have a defense of that quote. Let's see you show the "racism" and a critique of the video.

    Oh come on. She even attempted to apologize when she was rightfully called out for her comments.

    This is a link to a long article but the conclusion is that Jews are special and Gentiles are garbage =

    "There is no escaping the facts: the Torah of Israel makes a clear distinction between a Jew, who is defined as “man,” and a Gentile. This distinction is expressed in a long list of Halachic laws, be they monetary laws, the laws of the Temple, capital laws or others. Even one who is not an erudite Torah scholar is obligated to recognize this simple fact; it cannot be erased or obscured."
    http://daatemet.org.il/en/torah-science-ethics/religion-ethics/gentiles-in-halacha/

    This is a shorter article =
    "In this article R' Bar-Chayim discusses the attitude towards "Gentiles" in the Torah and in the Halacha and comes to an unambiguous conclusion: "The Torah of Israel makes a clear distinction between a Jew, who is defined as 'man,' and a Gentile." That is to say, any notion of equality between human beings is irrelevant to the Halacha. R' Bar-Chayim's work is comprehensive, written with intellectual honesty, and deals with almost all the aspects of Halachic treatment of non-Jews. It also refutes the statements of those rabbis who speak out of wishful thinking and, influenced by concepts of modern society, claim that Judaism does not discriminate against people on religious grounds. R' Bar-Chayim shows that all these people base their constructs not on the Torah but solely on the inclinations of their own hearts. He also shows that there are even rabbis who intentionally distort the Halachic attitude to Gentiles, misleading both themselves and the general public."
    http://www.come-and-hear.com/supplement/so-daat-emet/index.html

    So why should anyone apologize for making "anti-semitic" remarks until the Jews renounce their hateful ideology against all non-Jews?

    Her apology was a concession to avoid racists dragging her through their mud.

    In post 125 I quoted her saying "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel."

    Maybe she wouldn't be in America today if the US warmongers had stayed out of Somalian affairs.

    There would be far fewer refugees if the US didn't interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

    Yup. Funny how forum right wingers hate to see so many refugees try to enter the USA or other countries but they fail to condemn the USA's wars which create those refugee crises. Worse form of hypocrisy anywhere.

    Arabs and Jews have been collaborators since 620 A.D. The Arabs adopted the ethnocentric Jewish religious fairy tale and made a few changes to it. They made it less racist but kept all of the other bad parts about it as their own.

    If you can stomach it you should read the Talmud. It makes the Koran seem wonderful in comparison and we know how bad the Koran is. The Talmud is freely accessible on the internet so you don't have to take my word for it.

    After you read it for yourself the next time someone says that a person is an anti-semite ask him if he will renounce everything in the Talmud. Chances are he will evade answering you.

    They'll continue to do as they've done and will excuse and tolerate. At one time this sort of language would have been unthinkable but they chip away until it becomes normalized.

    You've noticed the double standards which have developed over the last decade or so where leftists can get away with most anything, as in this case and what's happening in Virginia. Republicans are held to much higher standards, which is as it should be, but Democrats are held to few standards at all.

    In fact I'm not interested in any of that. Life's too short.

    What I am interested in is the contemporary world where hatreds are being promoted and justified. The Jewish people continue to be among the best and brightest in the world which, I suspect, is why so many less successful cultures and religions hate them so much.

    She is supposed to be working for Americans, not for Israelis.
