    So, you think I’m anti Semetic? My friends would find that amusing.

    This would make the Orthodox Jews I know anti Semetic, too.

    No, but then I haven't seen you constantly yammer about "Zionists", support Palestinian terrorists and post anti-American rhetoric.

    It helps that you're an American and not a foreigner.

    BTW, what happened to the OP author "Cancel"?

    He's just a prosemitic mouth. ' Antisemitism ' slides out of it easily.

    He'll ignore all demands for support for his libel. Asshole.

    QED. "Prosemitic" = person who doesn't hate Jews.

    ROFLMAO. You seriously think whining about libel then posting a libelous comment wins you friends and influences people? Do you really think it gives you credibility?

    I know you want to believe that stuff, but it just isn't true. It is what the victor says when it is over. They write the history. That is why we say we did not torture, but we did. We say we did not gun down unarmed citizens and children, but we did.

    No there isn't, Doris. 90% of Israelis say they are pro-Zionist, stop bullshitting. Moonshi'ite is an arsehole that sucks mullah cock and you're just a naive fool.

    He was discussed by certain posters here and asked to have his account closed. I miss him. He was a great poster.

    Another expected but false reply. I'm good with everyone regardless of culture or skin-tone with the exception of murderers. Those who intentionally civilian targets are murderers. If the Palestinians want to war with Israel they should be attacking military targets. This is 2021, not 1945. Not 1948. Not 1968. It's been over 70 years since Israel became a nation and you are still supporting terrorists killing innocent women and children.

    ROFLMAO

    Not trolling. I would have supported Patton and LeMay. As it was, it didn't happen and luckily the world survived the Cold War without a nuclear exchange.
    You are one of about two dozen people on the entire planet who would have ordered a nuclear first strike on the Russian people in 1945.

    Does not strike me as particularly libertarian.

    Awesome. Do you understand the difference between actual Zionism and what people who support Palestinian terrorism call Zionism? It's the same difference between someone talking about thugs in crime and a RWNJ writing about the "thug" <wink> problem.

    Einstein and Zionism

    For the rest of his life, Einstein lent his support to the Zionist movement. But he was always careful to explain that he supported “cultural Zionism,” not “national Zionism.” That meant support for Jewish refugees in Palestine and for institutions like Hebrew University, but not support for a Jewish national state, which he feared would lead to conflict with Palestinian Arabs.

    Notice the reason. Einstein had just lived through the fucking Holocaust. I'm certain he didn't want to give any assholes a reason to have a second one. Einstein was speaking out of fear for his people, not that he thought Zionism was wrong.
