Ben Shapiro speaking at Cal

You don't think some of Shapiro's views, particularly on Palestinians are not racist? Shapiro likes to ride that line but at the same time I think the anti Semitic attacks on Shapiro by Trump supporters was disgusting.

are they based on the "race" of Palestinians or based on their commitment to murder Jews?.......

This is the same way aloyisos feels.

I disagree on aloysious. I've had many interesting conversations with him. never came away thinking what he said was racist .. nor in reading his comments to others.

He's certainly to the right of us, but that's true of the majority of Americans.

I find him to be thoughtful, not at all arrogant, and someone I can discuss issues with.

That being said, he does sometimes thank the wrong people for saying the wrong thing .. but that doesn't make him a racist in my view.

We will agree to disagree.

So are Jews yet it's considered racist to be anti Semitic. So what's your point?

My point is that Shapiro has said reprehensible things about Palestinians based on their ethnic/racial hodgepodge as you put it.

My point is 'Palestinian' isn't a race.

Therefore, by definition, one can't be 'racist' towards Palestinians. I don't know what Shapiro said about the Palestinians, but whatever it was it wasn't racist.

Jewish is not a race .. it's a religion.

Can one say racist shit about Jews?

Therein lies the answer to your confusion.

No confusion here lol.

To be anti-Jew is to be antisemitic---a non racial form of bigotry that's rarely called-out on, unless it's done by white supremacists.

The issue you [and most anti-Trump zealots] need to live with is that Trump supporters are largely in support of Israel [Jews] yet are supposedly white nationalists.

How you deal with that contradiction is up to you.
