There is a difference between an obvious typo such as mine was... and your routinely not knowing, and it shows... in your myriad posts. I'm not really surprised if you didn't realize that was a typo though... since you probably were looking it up in wikipedia as we sit here to see what it told you to think.

So you were now only referring to me? Then how do you explain this comment?
I wasn't referring to only you. However, I want to see who else you think I am referring to... guess you don't want to answer that though.

You don't need anybody's help to "paint" you as being far worse than "antisemitic" when it comes to the religion of Islam and the Middle East in general. It "is quite clear from your posting history".
Hahahaha, right. That's classic. Specifically calling out the Koran is now a racist thing to you.
Another word you fail to understand, I suppose. Not surprising at this point. Wake up Formy, or, better... keep going. It's entertaining.

Quote:
Not only didn't I ever mention fascism, you are claiming anybody who are "constant complainers about Israel" are antisemitic, which is patently ridiculous. And it even refers to the subject bar, which I obviously didn't create and you clearly misinterpreted as well.
Hey, Captain Paranoia, not everything I post is about you...

I have to admit that English instruction has apparently changed substantially when I was in school if these now pass for proper examples:

Anti-semitism (of the anti-Jew/Zion/Hebrew kind) has come to CFC (again)... and I'm afraid their isn't still hope.

And, I appreciate threads like this in the end, because real anti-semites do come out of the woodworks... they can't resist the opportunity to uselessly bash Israel.

Emphasis mine.

Or perhaps Kochman is teaching us all proper English using the technique of providing numerous bad examples. I still can't find "Ummm" in the dictionary. Is it a foreign word?

Figure it out... another of your myriad errors. Do my posts give you PTSD?

And, sorry if I make typos while I multi-task... I know what I mean... everyone does... If I spent more than a second posting a reply it would definitely be fine.

You just don't understand words and concepts... that's not fixable by just paying attention.

I am so waiting for this to happen. No sign of it yet. Perhaps after 100 years or so, they'll simply get fed up with violence.

I have a lot of sympathy for both sides.

But this is too serious. Hand me that cup of water/roll of tape. I'm a fascist democrat on the hunt for fun.

He didn't seem to believe there was any inherent flaw in Jewish persons however because he calls for Jews to abandon their Semitic Culture, and embrace a German one.

How are they lame?

And if you look at the atrocious policies they have for the Palestinians + the trouble they're always causing in the Middle East + the amount of military and financial support they receive from the world superpower + the amount of support they receive from the Western World in general, I would say they aren't attacked nearly enough. So yes it is in a sense disproportionate.

Haven't see you target Israel specifically and over piddling incident, but I have seen others do it... if they want to give special derision to Israel, I will call them out for their hypocrisy in accepting way, way worse behavior from other countries because for some reason it has become PC to do so while it has also become PC to bash Israel and take up the cause celebre of Palestine... over all sorts of other injustices of the world that effect way more people in much harsher ways.
I'm probably one of the most anti-Israeli people on this board, fwiw. But I'd like to know, which "way, way worse behavior" are we accepting of?

Actually, no it wouldn't. The former connotes that you always use improper English while the latter implies that you frequently provide bad examples on a regular basis.

Right. Your incessant mistakes, frequent overuse of "...", and usage of non-existent words such as "Ummm" are "typos", while a tiny handful of grammatical errors on my part show I have "PTSD".

Indeed. How often does this absurd "antisemitism" charge have to emerge in most any discussion about Israel, especially when it comes from someone like Kochman with a clear prejudice against Islam.

No, yours show you don't understand words and concepts.

Consistent = marked by harmony, regularity, or steady continuity
Constant = continually occurring (meaning, without stopping)

You consistently attack Israel on this board because you are constantly anti-semitic in your mind and think in such patterns.

I consistently make typos and am constantly against racism.

Anyhow, I'm done arguing with you for today...

As much as throwing a roll of tape is.

It makes sense in the context.

Once again, you aren't consistent in the least with your "typos", which are actually grammatical errors. And you are "constantly" showing the latter clearly isn't true. Instead, you just falsely insinuate anybody who disagrees with you must be a "racist" or "anti-Semitic".

Here is a fact for you to figure out.
ISLAM IS NOT A RACE.

Have the last word, as I know you must.

That wasn't a "discussion". It was a massacre.

What is funny is that we essentially have exactly the same opinions about Israel, but I'm the "anti-Semite" while you or anybody else who feels that way apparently isn't. That is, except for the OP and anybody who posted in this thread before Kochman did, which he now tries to claim isn't true.

They aren't causing trouble in the ME... they defend themselves and their existence from groups and nations that have adopted official platforms of annihilating them.

Quote:

So what? Many nations receive a lot. The US gives Egypt tons to remain peaceful with Israel (and keep the canal open of course) too... it's ok to dislike Egypt disproportionately then?
Quote:

Really the USA... not so much Europe et al...

They aren't attacked enough? Go to Israel, witness a few rocket attacks or suicide bombings, almost always targetted at civilians, and tell me they aren't attacked enough.

I take it you have never been to Gaza or Lebanon, or even seen them on the news. This sort of rampant Zionism that tries to rationalize continual atrocities and apartheid on the part of the Israeli government on suicide bombings which stopped long ago and "rocket" attacks that kill an average of one person a year is far worse than clearly concocted "anti-Semism" will ever be.
