Dawkins pretty much slams Islam every chance he gets and sometimes he shows a pro-Israel stance, so I don't see the issue - Jews as a cultural group have a larger tendency to be non-religious or ignore religious teachings so from a religious perspective they're the least affected by anti-theism.

What a turd. He knows that in many crowds, the Jews are untouchable, and saying anything anti-Jewish will completely derail any discussion or argument. I'll be he uses this "antisemitic" argument in all kinds of contexts and all kinds of arguments.

It's just another attempt to label and belittle your opponent if you really can't come up with a more reasoned response to criticism.

I agree with everything that Dawkins wrote about the Abrahamic deity.

Guess that makes me an anti-Semite, too.

I also think many of the same things about Emperor Palpatine. I guess I'm anti-Sith, too . . .

This video is pretty hilarious as you can tell considering that this rabbi accuses Dawkins of anti-Semiticism on the basis that he dislikes the god of the Tanakh. With this thinking I am anti Arab for disliking Allah.

How would have Jonathan Sacks reacted if Richard Dawkins was Jewish (ethnically not religiously of course)?
