  • But the ones that I have met expressed very overtly racist positions that were logically inconsistent in any other scenario: special pleading all the way.

    I wasn’t, at the time, back around a decade ago now, telling my white liberal friends ‘all Israelis are racist because I met a few’.

    I’m not saying that you were being racist. I’m saying that it’s very easy to come across as racist when pointing out things that you don’t like about a few people off the same race.

    You are here doing the thing my former friends did: You are assuming I did and said things I did not do nor say, and are pearl clutching… because you’ve head canon’d in your own missing context and additional details.

    I’m doing no such thing. I wasn’t judging you for your observations and I made no statement about whether I thought you were racist or not because I don’t have the information required to suggest that you are.

    But did you read the entire article that is this post?

    No, I didn’t need to because I was only making the comment that it’s very easy to be seen as racist when you talk about a race of people.


  • Meanwhile, I’ve been anti Zionist my whole life, and every single actual Israeli I’ve ever met has been a racist, anti-Islamic Zionist… and when I point this out, almost every white liberal or self described lefty has called me an antisemite.

    The problem is that there is a fine line between stating your observations of a few people and racism.

    I’d guess that you haven’t met many actual Israelis…… certainly not enough to be a statistically significant sample. If that’s the case then assuming that your observations apply to the whole population becomes racism.
