5. really
I'm anti-death penalty because I'm pro-murderer.

I'm pro-choice because I'm anti-snowflake baby.

I'm anti-Iraq invasion because I'm pro Saddam Hussein.

antisemitic are despicable. Most of the rest are really concerned about what happen for people on both sides of the border.

10. There was an anit-semitic post somewhere?
I've never seen anything remotely anti-semitic (in the anti-jewish sense) one on DU. Even the literal anti-semitic in the opposed to people who are semites esnse, I've never seen a post that is anti-arab or anti-jewish.

11. Certainly. Most have been wisely deleted by the mods.

15. I don't think there is so much anti-semitism...
but there is an anger and frustration that causes many to broadbrush and be perceived as such.

Some of the people accused of being anti-semitic are Jewish themselves.

I think even the most liberal DUers can sometimes let their emotions guide them into an "us vs them" mindset.

20. I have not met a lot of really antisemitic posts, but a few really are.
Some may come from ignorance, but it is still very sad.

6. Try not to be so dramatic.
I agree with you that the value of human life seems to run along political lines, but state your beliefs and let others think what they want.

sound logic. An occasional glib jab is cool by me also.

But to start a thread with such inane logic clearly meant to cause strife is below you and should be below all of us. But hell, I live in reality.

I have an 180 difference of opinion against you but this saddens me.

You have enough EXCELLENT facts on your side to NOT sink to use "baiting" as a tactic. :(

On edit: Yes your posts have helped me soften my view against Israel. Yes, I still think indiscriminate bombing is wrong but I'm also getting a better understanding of their perspective. Best :hi:

13. oh for crissakes - will you stop.
Nobody here favors arabs over jews, or visa versa, but a lot of us are PISSED at the over reaction of the Israeli response in Lenanon. I love the jewish people, but I'm pissed at Israel...and hezbellah. Does that make me an arab hater too?

whatever.
