With the whole Cynthia Mckinney business going on it was a bit of a bummer. As blogger were gleeful to maybe now have a valid excuse to hate Jews or Israelis or however they want to phrase it, I wasn't sure what was going on.
Then I remembered last weeks Torah reading was Parashat Balak! (Numbers 22,2-25,9) lol.

The Balaq comparison is an interesting. Especially, since the same bloggers don't seem to have a problem with what has been happening in a number of places in the world; such as the Muslim only zones in Saudia Arabia, the unrest in Iran, etc.
I also think is the result of the imposed no-Israeli/Jew zones in Gaza. Also, ultimately this is a part of the price we pay when our government here is corrupt as well as when western powers push into their roadmaps and their versions of Middle East peace. The whole Israel must be buddy buddy with the US is a big problem in my book.
Ehav - I find especially interesting as people tend to say things like "see what those Israelis are doing?!" and "You know they'll be mad at us if we hate the Jews, but.."
Its like they would like to lump every Jew together and hate them for this affair -I don't hear "what's wrong with the gov" or "what kind of rule is that?" Nope. I'm hearing, is it a valid enough reason now to show our hate unabashedly at them?
Check out the daily kos. Its hilarious. The first series of notes are: 'Former congresswoman is trying and Oh look at (the whole of )Israel doing x; wrong!'
Then 'Oh there seems to be some misunderstanding...'
Then, well anyway they are still doing y wrong! i.e. let's stick to what I can still hold and defend to validate my hate. lol
Notice that no one mentions that Mckinney has long consorted with known haters of the Jewish people. When Mckinney lost her reelection bid her father gave a speech claiming "Jews have bought everybody. J-E-W-S."
C-1,
That's another worry. The lack of connecting the dots with history. Everything is racism when it involves a BP.
Though, admittedly I myself should have done research into Cynthia Mckinney.
