> Well Israel is a US ally that serves US interests

The US is an Israeli ally that serves Israel’s interests. Our federal intelligence (CIA) and law enforcement agencies (FBI) are subservient to Mossad.

The FBI scooped a foreign intelligence operation setup ahead of time to film and celebrate 9/11 and they all walked. The CIA was completely unable to stop foreign assets from fabricating evidence for the Iraq war, serving none of our geopolitical goals (but all of mossads).

Our leadership, democrat and republican, must kiss the ring of AIPAC to get elected and does so. Trump and Hillary got on the same stage and swore allegiance.

A huge chunk of our congressional leadership are dual citizens, able to leave the country at the drop of a hat and live comfortably in another sovereign state.

But ignore all of this, Russia is the real threat. The pathetic gas station of a country that recently had it’s only aircraft carrier killed in dry dock by a crane that fell over.

This article is largely false and disingenuous. The right of return is in fact automatic and does not require settlement. You can’t say “well they don’t have citizenship RIGHT NOW” while they can get it instantly whenever they want.

Also, wealthy and powerful congressional representatives that routinely travel to Israel for vacation are not the same as your average person who happens to have x% Jewish DNA.

These people are powerful and privileged, and are routinely the target of hostile foreign intelligence services.

Anti-semetic remarks are never acceptable, we have come so far and progressed so much as a society, we are simple better than this. These types of attacks need to be censored and posters of such, banned. This is a place for everyone of every race and creed to get along, regardless of your feelings about a certain group, who may have some advantages in some fields, many different groups also have advantages in other fields as well, and they are not so often targeted. In the end, its all talk any way - and I mean it, nothing will happen because its all talk, years and years of talk. Some might posit we are a few generations too late to end this. The lack of tolerance is too much.

Let’s be clear, comments critical of the Israeli government are NOT anti-Semitic. In fact, there are plenty of Jews who are critical of the Israeli regime.

The above comment appears to be conflating criticism of the Israeli government with the Jews as a race/religion.

We all know how these arguments ultimately end up attacking the jew as a race/religion as a whole. These comments, indeed, are antisemtic- however nuanced. The "international jew" question is one that has somehow transitioned into anything related in the slightest to Jewish influence in the government of the US. If someone were to say, "Hitler did nothing wrong" would that be true? No! He lost, the only thing he did wrong was lose. This kind of twisted logic is where these arguments targeting any supposed influence of a Jewish controlled power structure arise when events like these undoubtedly, and likely eventually occur. So you will excuse me if I don't want to go down that path. Anti-semetism is not acceptable and the most shameful expression of ignorance one can pro-pound in this day and age.

>Anti-semetism is not acceptable

Agree.

>and the most shameful expression of ignorance one can pro-pound in this day and age.

Disagree.

> We all know how these arguments ultimately end up attacking the jew as a race/religion as a whole.

Do we “all know” that?

Meanwhile, you created an account just now to reply to this.

Please try and be less transparent in the future.

This has gone so far off the rails. Dear lord…
