I'm fine with Israel existing btw, but disagreeing with their policies doesn't make me an anti-Semite. Disagreeing with them and using them to make racist comments about Jews would. I'm not sure Hawking has done that (Bobby Fischer certainly has).
So, calling someone a filthy (mormon) is not racist.
calling someone a filthy (christian) is not racist.
calling someone a filthy (muslim) is not racist.
calling someone a filthy (buddhist) is not racist.
calling someone a filthy (scientologist) is not racist.
But! Calling someone a filthy (jew) is racist!
OK, I got it.. and by the way, the majority of the jews I've seen are not of semitic ancestry.
Find the cure for Fundementia!
