1. Why is it that we can very openly criticize and question anything and anyone we want (including Jews or Judaism), but when it comes to Israel in any way.......you always have people cursing, swearing, and calling you things like "Anti Semite", "Nazi", "Terrorist", etc..?
2. Why do the Arabs keep getting blamed or the Holocaust? It was a horrible thing what Hitler did, but do we have to start a new one?

"BOOMAN": Israel wasn't created by giving away flowers and candy either. The war that started in 1947 is still going on.
At least that's what I believe

Let me rephrase Question "2"
No one blamed the Arabs for the Holocaust, but they sure are suffering from its aftermath.

Arabs are not being blamed. You can critcize Isreali policy and not get hammered for it.

I posted a question about Israel here on YA. No hate, just an observation that Israel is war state. Gave a few reasons, then asked for feedback. A legitimate question.
The post lasted a few hours, was pretty civil, then it got yanked and I received a violation.
If you want to pizzzz off some people here really bad, post something unflattering about Israel and you'll lose points and possibly your account.
Reminds me of Germany, 1932 -- only this time the jack boots are warn by a different clan.
I'm not against Israel, nor am I for them. I simply can't figure it all out. But I'm not willing to get in a fight about it. So for a few instances like this, I tend to stay away from Israel politics.
Peace
Jim

RE:Post from Just Plain Jim - I thought something weird happened. I wanted to answer your post and wham, it was gone - at least I think it was your post.
Anyway, I have often wondered the same thing - why is Israel hands off when it comes to analyzing US foreign policy. The only answer I can find, and it is really lame, is that "Israel represents democracy in the Mideast". Wow, that really sucks as a reason to give them our jets, nukes, and allow for the suffering and apartheid they impose on the Palestinians. I mean, what have the Israelis done for the US in say, the last 60 years? Nothing. Zip. Nada.

What "criminal distant places coverage"? distant places coverage has no longer something to do with Israel's colonization of the West economic enterprise. that's kin. Israel's distant places coverage is one among retaliation. It basically assaults whilst that's attacked, and that has been real for each conflict Israel has been in different than for the Suez disaster.

Excuse me... Would you like to point out exactly who has accused the Arabs of the Holocaust? They weren't *directly* involved in *THE* holocaust, tho they did ally with the Nazis during WWII... and then there is the little problem of the President of Iran denying that the Holocaust even happened... or that fact that he has threatened to drive the Jews into the sea.. And that Iran started and continues to encourage and support the terrorist group, Hamass... and every time Israel signs peace treaties with Palestine some Arab straps a bomb to his kid and sends him to blow up Jews on a buss or in a Mall...
Ya think that any of that may be at the root of your perceived "problem"?

Read a history book beginning with WWII. The following events around the creation of Israel in 1947 and the resulting aggression fro the surrounding countries from 47 on. Israel asked to live in peace with it's neighbors and has been attacked on a constant basis ever since. Israel did not start any of the was and conflicts in the region, but they sure defended themselves from annihilation farily well.

Please allow me to present what I've learned:
1) Criticizing the President of US is tolerated far far more than any issue in regard to Israel .
2) If you care about not getting suspended avoid negative comments on said issues.(no matter what)
My Regards.

I am sorry, but I only able to answer your second question.
The Arabs are known for not liking the Jews (mainly Israel) because it is the holy land, and they do not like to see people who are not Muslims on the holy land.
In Islam, there is a quote, that if the infidel does not convert, kill him.
So that pretty much sums it up. I hope I was a help to you.

Looking at your list of Q & A's lets people know exactly how obsessed you are with Isreal and Jewish people. Go ahead and explain how you aren't an anti-semitic when even a brief perusal of your history will show that you are.
BTW everyone he turned his history to private so he couldn't get caught at it again.
