I'm not even Jewish, and I've been trying to stay out of these arguments because they become so contentious, but holy crap, how can anybody not see that the statement "I support Hamas, you fucking Jew!" is over-the-top anti-Semitic? And then accuse anyone who finds that statement objectionable is accused of being bigoted against Palestinians and Arabs?

"Both sides"? Ocelot II Jan 2024 #19

Really? ??? So you believe it's "anti-Semitic" for Palestinians to be free????? RAB910 Jan 2024 #20

Why are they chanting "Free Palestine" at a high school basketball game in America? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #22

I am okay with that. I don't expect people who so strongly believe Palestinians shouldn't be free to the point RAB910 Jan 2024 #23

"Free Palestine" is not an offensive statement. "Fucking Jews" *is* an offensive statement. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #25

Saying "free Palestine" is "anti-Semetic" or a curse is as equally immoral as shouting "fucking Jews" RAB910 Jan 2024 #27

"I support Hamas, you fucking Jew!" was the specific statement at issue. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #34

There is NOTHING "false" about calling out hate-filled bigotry toward Palestinians that is so bad RAB910 Jan 2024 #31

So "you fucking Jew" is just fine as long as it's accompanied with a statement of support for Hamas. Ocelot II Jan 2024 #35

Which parochial school? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #66

OMG! You didn't even read the article in question?? "and The Leffell School, a private Jewish school in Hartsdale. " TeamProg Jan 2024 #67

Yes, the parochial students were the victims of bigotry AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2024 #68
