Israeli FM Pushes Bill to Bar Arabs From Parliament

[former wesleyan]

Again usual nonsense, if you condemn Israel your antisemitic. So when jewish people disagree with their government's actions, they are antisemitic. When jewish people disagree with the formation of the Israei state for religious reasons, are they antisemites. If you disagree with the present Irish govt position are you ani Irish?

How do you get from ..."if you condemn Israel etc " to ..." if you condemn the present Irish govt position..etc ? That's the whole point of the present , rather nasty , debates going around now; that rarely do you see policies being condemned, only Israel qua Israel.

Herr Dengler, in many different ways, we're all still living with the effects of stuff that happened in the 1950s and 60s.

The Russians (and Soviets) far more than anyone else have ample reason for retribution for actsthat may have been committed during WWII.
They've moved on.

It's time for you zionist apologists to move on too.

How many posts now have you used the term "Zionist apologist" as if it's an insult? Scores I'd say. However I should let you know that Zionism is not a dirty word to most Israelis. And if people weren't using it as a euphemism for Jews they would understand that by using the phrase as an insult they are actually strengthening the Zionist movement. Zionism is a liberation movement. Its aim was, and continues to be, to create and sustain a safe haven for Jewish people. Zionism is the Jewish answer to the impulse of the last 2000 years to erase Jews from history.

MP Matalon Says Conscription 'Part of the Israeli Ethos'

While I thoroughly disagree with this proposal, the thread title is extremely misleading and that is no accident.
