Thank you for your time Oh Magnificent One
"Bibi" is short for Benjamin as in Benjamin Netanyahu PM of Israel.
"Wubby" I have no idea about that.

That doesn't change the fact that criticizing the Israeli government for acting like shitstains isn't antisemitism. You just have to look with whom they share their bed to stay in power.I also see who they're surrounded by too. Hostile Arab countries who have touted their dedication to wiping Israel off the map. These same Arab countries who abuse, torture, and murder women, Christians, homosexuals, atheists, etc...who don't adhere to their particular brand of islam. But that seems to be okay with the UN and the world community. Only Israel should be condemned. I see. Cowards, for not calling out other nations like Syria, Iran, China, North Korea, and other nations who are far more blatant in committing human rights violations. The UN is a biased and worthless hatemongering organization of murdering nations. The quicker the U.S. defunds them, the better.
It's a political statement and it doesn't mean every Israeli, let alone every jew, was in cahoots with Netanjahu and cronies and should be criticized or blamed. To say something like that would indeed be antisemitism, but noone does that.
Nobody here supports the idea of a theocracy. But no, bullshit blanket presumption of guilt of individuals is not a tactic. Funny how you are bitching about their fear of outsiders and here you are pulling the same bullshit. But at least you don't throw gays off rooftops? Is that it? At least you don't do honor killings of women but still want to control their bodies? Seems that our Conservative Christians here in the states like the same things, controlling women and hate of LGBT.
You really don't know your own history do you? You think America has always been so progressive? FUCK NO, there was a time in this country where OUR Christians used the bible to ban interracial marriage and justified segregation. There was a time when OUR police would conduct raids on gays, beat them up and throw them in jail. Harvey Milk was murdered by a political rival because he didn't like a gay man defeating him in politics.
There was a time when Susan B Anthony got the shit beat out of her by sexist right wing bigoted Christians who didn't want a woman to vote.
There was a time in the colonies where innocent girls and women were accused by Christian men of being witches.
Genocide of Native Americans also, and we have asshole Andrew Jackson on our money, a sicko who marched 10,000 Native Americans off their land, and thousands died in the "Trail of Tears".
Still wan't to go pointing fingers now? I really would suggest you read your own bible before you point fingers at others.
Now, if you want to go after violent individuals, or violent sects, or attack the words in the Koran that do justify violence, that is one thing. But no, you are an asshole if you think fighting their demagoguery with your own demagoguery is a valid tactic.
You are advocating becoming the monster you say we are fighting. No, I refuse to lower myself to that standard.
Ok Frank Burns?
