Except, of course, if it is a young girl who has been raped and the punishment for her "crime" of being raped is to be put to death. You are on record in this instance of saying "I don't care".

Show me the post. Never mind.

I am not interested in arguing with you. If I led you to believe that I support rape and murder of children then I apologize for the misunderstanding and any way that this disturbed your mind.

Maybe I read too fast or posted too fast.

Criticize me all you wish. I have no intention of firing back.

Person A calls you anti-semitic due to a statement you make that criticizes an action taken by the Israeli government.

How do you prove you are NOT anti-semitic?

Can you?

If your spiritual teachings advise you to have an equal kind regard for all beings, what would be the problem with wanting Jews and Palestinians to have sovereign states?

Can you?
Point out very specifically that you are extremely anti-anti-semitic and then put something like "I HATE ANTI-SEMITISM" in your signature in big letters.

Trust me, I have similar experiences with something like this.

I was not addressing Sunni's statement--for the purpose of my post--I considered his statement irrelevant to the point I was making. It's a stretch to say I approve of raping and killing children.

I was addressing another point, and another poster, which my post clearly shows. The past is the past. I do not want to fight with meow today, nor do I plan to fight with you either.

Nonetheless, if your intention is to paint me as a woman and children hating violent, person so be it. It doesn't happen to be true.

I assure you I am not indifferent to suffering of any being. I wouldn't intentionally harm a fly.

I hope this shows others what I am really about.

That takes time.

Maybe its best for me to put you back on ignore. You seem to have an ax to grind and I don't plan on allowing it to be me.

A person proves themself by what they actually stand for and not all the posturing, self-agrandizing b.s. they say about themself.

Saying "I am a such and such" followed by ample evidence to the contrary seldom cuts it.

I have neer been called an antisemite, but if you have, then it it is up to you to prove so through deed rather than word.

Beware of ill will, (not ill wind, lol. I feel great!)

Ill will, spite, hostility, malice rot the heart and mind of those who foster it.

It doesn't travel on the wind, nor does it touch the wind.

But mantra rides the breath and sends loving kindness to all, even 'enemies'.

Ignore me all you want because I do not plan on ignoring you. You arrived in this forum for a purpose, and I believe in exposing that purpose to the light of day.

One thing I find particularly annoying is when Anti-Semites try to pretend that they aren't anti-semitic by using the phrase "Zionists" to refer to "jews."

It's pretty hard for someone to prove they aren't anti-semitic when they call what has happened in Israel/Palestine a "holocaust," too. That's hyperbole in the nth degree.

A holocaust is organized racial genocide, not a small localized, regional conflict.
