WTF Israel?

[Brian37]

Okay, the first two paragraphs are contradicting themselves on the nature of the law and how it relates to Bibi's immunity from prosecution:


Bel Trew, does Bibi already have immunity from prosecution or not? Will this law give it to him, take it away, or reaffirm that he already has it?

Also, I know that a lot of criticism of Israel gets automatically branded anti-semitic, but where does anyone mention it here?

As it stands now, the High Court could remove Netanyahu's immunity from prosecution.  The new law would give the Knesset the authority to ignore such a decision (my wife is Israeli by birth, and she's livid over this).

Nothing in the article mentions or implies anti-Semitism.  I think Brian is just being proactive, because a lot of people assume that ANY criticism of Israel amounts to anti-Semitism (which is silly).

I didn't claim the article claimed anti Semitism. For someone who accuses me of not getting the point of a post, you sure as hell don't read mine, or you only read into it what you want to read into it. 

I said, there are GOP politicians who throw that term out there , and GOP voters also throw that out there when someone criticizes Israel. In fact, I just read a tweet from a GOP supporter just today doing just that. And I see comments like that almost every day from followers of the GOP on social media. It is a common tactic for a crook to deflect and blame when they know someone is onto them. It is worse when that crook has political support. Media is the way they protect themselves as much as other lagit media tries to hold them to account. 

That is perfectly reasonable considering that of Fox Viewers hang on the word of dipshits like Hannity whom is basically a conspiracy theorist posing as a journalist. And considering the orange turd uses the words "Fake News" every damned day, it should not surprise you that when people do read lagit articles like the OP, when they turn to Fucks News, they will say things like "Anti Semitism."

FYI your wife should be livid, they've got a Donald Trump version leading their country too.

1.  I never accused you of saying the article claimed anti-Semitism.  In fact, I said just the opposite. I said you were being proactive because you pointed out that anti-Israel is not the same as anti-Semitism, in the event that someone might accuse you of it.  I was defending you.

2.  Please don't 'FYI' me regarding my wife.  It's insulting.

How is agreeing with your wife "insulting"? She sounds like a smart lady.

Quote YOU.... 
Nothing in the article mentions or implies anti-Semitism.

Your words not mine. Why would you say that if you were not accusing me of claiming the article was implying it? If you are referring to the OP, nowhere in it did I accuse the article of promoting anti Semitism. If I thought that I would have said, "This article is promoting anti Semitism."

It was a response to all the conservative voters whom would read that and claim the article was. And to think they don't do that is naive.

'FYI' means 'For Your Information'.  Don't presume to inform me about my wife.  If you were to do that in person, and in real life, I'd probably be arrested for assault.

I was replying to Rev, not to you.  He seemed to be asking why you brought up anti-Semitism at all.  I was agreeing with you that the article didn't mention it and that you were taking the prudent move of trying to head off any dimwits who can't seem to separate criticism of Israel from anti-Semitism.

You don't get agreement from me very often.  Maybe that's why it's so hard for you to recognize it when it happens.

Brian..

You do realize that this man was elected to be a president of a portion of land invaded by force and taken by the gun; with mass expulsion of its natives, and mass murder of whoever disagrees in the region, in satisfaction of an ancient biblical tale..

But you're an atheist, Brian.

Right?

I think the problem is not Bibi alone. The problem is this whole remake of America in the Middle East.
I say America has lots of empty land; why doesn't it house the Jewish refugees that Britain expelled from its ghettos? then Bibi will be an American problem. He won't dare to act as an Arab warlord there; I assure you.

Yeah I forgot Trump..

[The Grand Nudger]

Great question Ayatollah.

That might be a little tricky, since they're all dead.

They're easier to house that way.
