Why people afraid to answer when the questions is all about Israel?

Question

Are they afraid about being branded as anti semitism and why? or,
They just feed up when talking about them?

Answer 1

I am not afraid at all and here is why, the term Antisemitism is a convenient weapon in the armory of Jews, it means that you cannot criticize any illegal or wrong action by Israel and has caused incredible paranoia in the west.
The truth is that no other nation has such a clamp down in place and it is also morally wrong, no matter who the nation is it is always morally just to challenge their wrong doing and this is a basic human right.
Of course the cleverness of this false term is that it links criticism with personal hatred which is rarely the case, Palestinians are Semite people too so should they adopt this strangulation strategy also.
Whenever Israel is challenged about anything they do not like then the antiseminism card is played and quite effectively I have to say, Racism and antisemitism are not the same thing.

Answer 2

There are often many answers to questions about Israel, and some of the responses are excellent.

I do agree it's true that many people don't have a realistic picture of what it's like out there. I lived there during my gap year and I watched the Israeli people living under constant red alert.

To the person who stated above that Jewish people 'use' the anti semitism angle: that is so unfair and so very untrue.

Jews are reluctant in the extreme to ever accuse anyone of this. That said, sometimes just because a non Jew isn't offended by a remark, doesn't mean the remark is OK!

Answer 3

From your grammar, I'm guessing English isn't your first language, but I think I get your drift. I will try and refrain from getting defensive.

I think a lot of people don't answer because the subject is pretty touchy. I also think most people have strong, and biased opinions either way.

I also think there are really, very, very, very, (did I mention very?) few intelligent questions that are unbiased raised. I personally get sick of answering questions about Israel that are clearly bigoted propaganda posturing as politics. A lot of people have a lot of opinions on the subject of Israel without really understanding the dilemma. I also, (and this is a personal opinion), think a lot of people on both sides of the discussion, especially those who don't live there, want little dialog and actually don't want an abiding peace. Sad.

Answer 4

I'm unafraid.
What anti-semitic? I am far from being anti-semitic.

Answer 5

The book says Israel wins in the end. How's that?

Answer 6

I'll answer the questions about Israel but I haven't seen any questions.

Answer 7

I am not afraid one bit to talk for Israel, or about Israel, They are God's chosen people & Israel will get ALL their land back.

Answer 8

Because I am not Jewish, and I don't know enough about the situation to make intelligent comments.

I know the pro-Israel propaganda the the NeoCons would like me to take as true, but of course I don't take that at face value.

Answer 9

whats there to talk about.

a bunch of terrorists want to kill jews to what amounts to a 9-11 type of attack every incident.

I think the us should start taking note of how they handle thier terrorists and implement the proceedures they use.

you can't compare bulldozing a couple of houses in responce to terrorism to the systematic and premeditated murder of innocent civilians.

quite frankly I think mcarthyism occured in the wrong era. even a tiny bit of it today would help the world and everyone in it. except the terrorists that is.

Answer 10

I haven't met anyone afraid to answer questions. Who are you speaking about ?
