Israel Blockades Lebanon

Yes.
They are two different things entirely. You can be disagree with Israeli politics but not be anti semetic.

I think the term anti semitism gets thrown around far too easily. I have been accused of anti semitism for suggesting the American Jews have an strong influence on US world politics & media portrayal.
 
There is a big difference between critisising Israel and making anti-semitic comments.

Plenty of Jewish Israelis protest against the actions of the Israeli government, but that doesn't make them anti-semitic!
 
actually you were called anti-Semitic for suggesting there is a *secret cabal* of jews who hold sway over the american government and media. there is no question that isreal has influence in the american government there is nothing secret or nefarious about that and the fact that there are more jewish people who work in the media does not mean that there is some kind of conspiracy and they are controlling it.
 
i would argue that that isnt anti-semitic, however surely the definition of anti semitism should be left for a different thread.
 
I think I have said something like 'disproportionate political & economic influence', I was hardly inferring a kind of global Jewish plot

Everyone knows the Arms manufacturers control the US government
 
MaverickZ, your parents were driven out of Azerbaijan because they were Jewish?
 
Hmmmm... well you know mate, I'm form Azerbaijan too.. and I know three Azeri Jewish families, one of them left of its own free will for the US in 1979, and the other two are still around. The only reason I can think of your family being chased out at that time period would be if they were Armenian.. TBH, your story seems a bit dubious. Are you sure it was not just something your parents told you to justify leaving?
 
Thank you for your kind words

I have nothing against the Jews in fact because I am of european decent I can easily pass for Jewish on the Street of Jerulalem

Some of my best friends have been Jewish, it is the action pf the Israeli government that I dont like.
 
that is why i said that allthough you are using over the top rhetoric that does not help the discussion you are not being anti-semitic. you are complaining about isreal as opposed to *the jews* in general.
 
actually 1/2 jewish and 1/2 armenian. you can think whatever you want really, it won't change the facts of the matter.
 
Its occurred to me last night why this conflict continues and why the World sits back and does nothing while Israel Continues its Policy of Slaughtering Small Children

Its because Arab and Muslim lives are worth Nothing whilst Jewish and European Lives are

That is why Brave Israeli Soldiers are allowed to Kill small children and get away with it

Until that changes there will never be peace in the Middle East
 
I'm not quite sure what 'the line' is

Are you talking about my references to Jewish racism?

I've certainly not advocated the killing of children like many Pro-Israeli posters. Now that is crossing the line.
 
Mate, you just answered the question.. I guarantee the Azeri Muslims, could not care less about Jews, hence we still have Jews living there, whom are close family friends for over 40 years.. and Azeri's with Israeli passports (don’t ask why), and Azeri Jews coming from the US for weddings and such..

Armenians on the other hand are a whole different story, and IMO it is the reason why your Armenian family got chased out of Azerbaijan You trying to play some sort of anti-Semitic crap on behalf of Azeri’s is unjustified and a bit lame too.
