Except for me. I hit the Jews hard without engagement in the buffer zone of "Zionism" or "Israel".

No. Most of the Jew bashing I see on these threads is by out-and-proud far-right anti-Semites like your Savant friend.

Edit: see above.

The amount of anti-israel ranting on these boards is staggering, and I would say about 99% of it is from lefties.

Bashing anyone's culture, creed or orientation is wrong, wrong, wrong.

As I said before, people are people.

"Anti-Israel" and "jew bashing" are not synonymous.

The actual post by Irish Savant is quite mild. Some of the comments are a bit more "lively".

Indeed. And since there is an inversely proportional relationship between a person's frequency and intensity of calling others 'fascists' and actually knowing what fascism is, this will continue to be true.

That's most people so. Aren't the right-wingers calling themselves not "fascists" yet they are one fight against Immigrations and see the "Whiteness" in danger from the Asian and African people.

Where are the free speech lovers now? Why is the Irish Savant being singled out for such treatment, one must wonder......?

He must be a threat to 'someone', huh......

It is an intellectual and emotional challenge to deal with the "Jewish Question". I had been philosemitic for most of my life.

There were a few things about them that disturbed me as an adolescent though.
