There is a very simple way to determine if someone denigrating Israel is actually being antisemitic. It's called the Three D's.

Damn, you're dumb.
Do I really need to educate you on literal and popular definitions? Didn't I already do that quite some time ago?

I think hate in general is coming back in style. Really I don't think it went anywhere, I think now that we have a half black president people that had hidden hatred are just vocalizing now against anyone that isn't a straight, male, white, Christian. People of color, women, Muslims, the poor, the super rich, gays- I think everyone is getting it right now.

Unfortunately for the sane people in this world, hatred has come back to school, with a new makeover, and it's gaining popularity by the day.

I think its time for the sane people to stand up and say something instead of standing in the corner shaking our heads. It's time to get radical again in my opinion, because the only people getting time in the media are manipulative and insane, and not everyone in this country is smart enough to differentiate between fact and propaganda.

I think hate crimes in general are on the rise, but I haven't seen any specific data for antisemitism.

Google "hate crimes on the rise" and you will find that they have actually risen world-wide.

Once again you seek to change the topic.

The facts prove you wrong. Look up that FBI link I gave you.

Here's something to chew on: While most Muslims are not terrorists, most terrorists are Muslims.

But I do think people are getting more disgusted with our tax dollars funding Israel and the wars in the middle east.

They're also pissed off that we're funding 192 nations, most of which HATE us.
Up until recently Pakistan was getting more money than anybody.

Dodgerfan to fuzzy K... 2012/08/23 04:50:16

And that's one of the reasons we are in debt up to the bumps on our heads.

No, it's not.
Aid to foreign countries is only 1% of our budget. If we eliminate ALL foreign aid it will have virtually NO IMPACT on our debt. http://www.washingtonpost.com...

Do your homework before you post.

From 2001-'10 Israel alone garnered 28.5 billion in foreign aid. Whether it's a large or small percentage matters not it's the fact that American taxpayers footed the giveaway. And the state department makes it difficult to find the actual figures. Since we are in debt how do we give money away? We have to borrow and pay interest to a third entity to give it away. Now that's real smart. http://www.vaughns-1-pagers.c...

And I said that was one of the reasons not the only one. Our government doesn't know how to use the money it takes from us much less give it away to other countries to try and buy friends.

I don't care if it's .00001% ! When you are 16 trillion in debt and can't even pay the interest ... all foreign must end.

New to international politics?

Judging by your post I get the feeling you would be satisfied if we just stop aid to Israel. Am I right?

Yeah. Let China fill the void and take our place. Of course our business concerns in those countries would suffer but the Chinese would be glad to take them over.
Think that might have an effect on our economy?

Your backing elimination of 1% of our total budget without any regard to how it would effect US industry parrots Ron Paul.

Eliminating foreign aid would not have an effect on the deficit but would have a VERY NEGATIVE effect on US commerce. Funny how neither you nor Ron Paul have realized that.

Who's the non-thinker?

If I'm a "non-thinker" then how come you support a measure that would have no effect on the deficit but a negative effect on commerce and it takes a "non-thinker" like me to point that out?

No. I never said nor assumed that is all you support.

What you're doing is called "projection" by psychologists. You are 'projecting' your attributes onto me.
YOU were the one parroting Ron Paul without ANY thought to the implications. (Just like Ron Paul)
I enlightened you as to those ramifications and instead of thinking about them or trying to rebut them you start with the name calling.
LOSER.
