The distinction is that the Spanish home demolitions are NOT part of an organized pogrom of
Pogrom? Like those riolts where people are lynched?
ethnic cleansing
Well there was an ethnic cleansing in the zone: the one suffered by Oriental Jews. And now one aganst Araba Christians. Defaening silence” on your part isn’t it?
And finally, there’s a BIG difference between criticizing Israel’s policies towards the Palestinian people, and the “bashing of Jews”.
Except that you ask for Jews suffering several missile attacks a day without retaliatin, except that youy try haqrd to tie Israel hands, except that you say nothing about Hams violating Laws, except that you lavish your sypathy on peoplme whp consider a hero a guy who killed a 4 years old girl in cold blood all while reaming indifferent to the sufferings of Balck Spudanese (mass murders and rapes): since they don’t want tio kill Jews liberals aren’t interested.
I can’t say whether Zapatero is anti-Semitic or not, nor can the author, nor anyone else for that matter.
I can, because I know more than a bit about Zapatero and his Foreign Minister Moratinos.
But to “assume” that he is, and that anti-Semitism is rampant in Spain, simply because he and many other Spaniards empathize with the plight of the Palestinians…is absolutely ludicrous!
Well, Spain didn’t participate in WWII so there wasn’t this feeling that things had gone too far that many staunch antisemites in countries who helped Nazis, falt after the war. But about etn plight of the Palestian, if it were real there would have been protests when four years ago Lybia expelled its Palestinians towards Gaza or when Jordan revoked their nationality. Deaqfening silence; Also could you tell me whwre uis the plight? Where are the underfed Palestinian children? How is that they have plenty of money for Kassams? How is that after sioxty fricinh yeras tyhey aren’t living from their work and that we tolerate them setting fore to the greenhouses who where supposed to provode them jobs? Also my sympathies tend to dry very quickly when people try to bomb maternities or raise their children for genocide. Tell me why those people (and you) worry so much abouit peole as repugnant as the palestinans when there is plenty of suffering in Soudan by people who don’t dream of genocide.
I’m NOT a “left-wing” liberal; but I believe in human rights.
That is why you don’t care aboutr palestina human righhts when you can’t blame the Jews and that uis why you have never cared about Souddan. Oh, I have it. For you there just nigers
<iI’m NOT anti-Semitic; but I despise Israel’s occupations, its settlement enterprise, and its oppressive policies against the Palestinians. And I’m NOT anti-Israel; but that doesn’t mean I’m going to close my eyes and ignore these things.
Like Israel putting the other cheek 8,000 times?
You aren’t anti-Semitic: staunch Polisha ntisemitsavec jews during WWII. They didn’t deserve to be soiled being put in the same basket than them. You belong tp the genocidical variety, the one in brown shirts and you care about Palestinans only because you dream they take care of the dirty work.
