Whoa. Where to start?

Firstly, I will reiterate: I am not anti-Jew. I am anti-Zionist. What is the difference? I know many Jews who are anti-Zionists. I stand with them. I stand with Jewish Voice for Peace. I stand with Norman Finkelstein and Miko Peled and Gideon Levy and Ilan Pappé.

I know many Jews. I have family members who are Jews. None of them wake up in the morning thinking that they are inherently better than anyone else simply because they were born Jewish.

Zionists, however, do believe that.

You are right, Dresden is a lousy analogy. It was because of things like Dresden that the Geneva Conventions were convened after WWII - just to outlaw things like that in the future.

I also admit that I drew a rather hasty comparison and did not fully explain just how inadequate and invalid that comparison is. It only works if you believe the hasbarist argument that Gazans pose an existential threat to Israel - which of course is ridiculous.

Tell me, Rich, how many nuclear weapons do the Gazans possess?

Look at your poor attempt at "logic". You have it backwards. Israel is like the bully who constantly harasses, pokes, pinches, prods and hurts a kid half his size, then pulls a gun when the kid hits back.

Tell me, Rich, how many Palestinians has Israel killed since 1967?

"A made-up people". Please. Again, with you, every accusation is a confession. It is the Israelis who are a made up people. Israel was created by a bunch of Eastern Europeans who pretended to have roots in Palestine. It is all a myth. Maybe you should read my other article:

"Israel was Built on Myth, and Now it’s Busted"

Or read this:

The Invention of the Jewish People: by Shlomo Sand.

or this:

The Thirteenth Tribe by Arthur Koestler

And please stop the hasbarist diatribe about Egypt. Why should they have to give up their land so that Israel can increase theirs? Why should Egypt have to host even more Palestinian refugees just because Israel wants to do ethnic cleansing?

"Now the white 20-somethings are on campus yelling that the Jews are too white."

What the hsell are you on about? The students are protesting the Apartheid system in Israel, protesting the genocide and calling for a ceasefire. They are being led by a group called "Jewish Voice for Peace".

Take your hasbara bullshit somewhere else, please. No one is buying it here.
