Subject: | Re: [WDDM] Anti-Semitism |
My goodness, conversation on the WDDM board has taken on a
disappointing tone.
. And Giorgio Menon espousing the equation: Zionism=Racism.
Well, here’s my reactions
To Giorgio Menon: Of course it’s ok to criticise the government of
Israel....occupation of Gaza and West Bank, repeated invasions of
Lebanon, etc. But challenging Israel’s existence? That’s not nice. It
is, in fact, anti-semitic.
/Please, please tell me I’ve missed the point. For example, perhaps
you’re against something you call ‘Zionism.’ But you’re ok on Israel’s
existence as a Jewish-majority State. /
The Palestinians need a State; the Israeli Jews need a State. Self
determination for all people. Isn’t that a fundamental concept?
