Is it all Jews or just some, it seems there is a double standard.
It seems the right gets in trouble for lumping all Muslims in the same boat, yet making a blanket statement about Jews seems to be okay.
had i meant all, i would have said "the ewish people" or "all jews". i am the poster who complains about the use of absolutes so i am aware of the usages. i do not think everything has to be predicated with some quantitative adjective.
that being said, it seems to me that there are very many jewish people and ewish organisations who are mounting a crusade to squelch political criticism of israel under the guise of anti-semitism and inflammatory hate speech, as well as to try to prohibit holodaust denial. in my opinion, this film, is far more hateful and inflammatory than perhaps any of the speech being prohibited that criticises israeli policy.
quick disclaimer because many people like to jump to comclusions: the fact that i believe in free speech does not believe in what is being said necessarily.
the attempts to link the criticism of israel with anti-semitic hate speech based on the argument being presented also can have unforseen consequences. laws are written usually in a very general manner and rather than say "israel" they would saay "a state" and rather than say "jews" they would say the "race/religion/ethnicity" and once that law hits the books, some persians will be howling about criticism of iran and so on and so forth.
perhaps a better choice of words on my part would have been to say "zionists" but i really haven't seen really anyone but maybe two or three non jews back this thpe of legislation.
it's a two way street. the mass exodus of whatev rom the carter center awhile back over "peace, not apartheid" was all over the paperss. bot one word that all but two of the people resigning were jewish. that is importaant.
