Well, quite. How long does a group have to live in an area before they're considered indigenous. The point was that this is an area where I think you should be able to have a valid debate (and there is certainly a lot to debate) without automatically being deemed to be racist for holding certain viewpoints.

Victory for Israeli racist rigt wing jews........apply your own parallels! on 23:41 - Jul 19 by syntaxerror | Apartheid South Africa had no right to exist. Very few argue with that. But Israel is allowed to exercise the same lack of self determination to a part of its indigenous population, aggressively, and occasionally causing loss of life at times. Apartheid South Africa drew widespread condemnation, and correctly so, for its justification of 'hot pursuit' - chasing armed opponents of the regime into foreign countries with deadly force, and often with serious collateral damage. Israel can do the same with impunity from most western governments. Correct me if I am wrong, but it seems like double standards. |
There was a South Africa before apartheid, and now there is one after it. The good of the nation was what Mandela, Tutu and their followers (and eventually De Klerk) were struggling for. We can only hope for similarly gifted individuals to emerge in Israel and Palestine. | |

The Chile model? Thatcher was a big supporter of Pinochet and his dictatorship despite all of the attrocities committed, that was why Chile was the only South American country to back our side in the Falklands conflict. That aside though, I think Israel has a right to exist and it's citizens have every right to self-determination. Palestine and it's citizens surely also have that same right. To my mind Netanyahu and his ilk stand firmly in the way of progress in the region. | |

That’s utter nonsense. From the description of antisemetic: The root word Semite gives the false impression that antisemitism is directed against all Semitic people, e.g., including Arabs and Assyrians. The compound word antisemite was popularized in Germany in 1879 as a scientific-sounding term for Judenhass ("Jew-hatred"),and has been its common use since then. https://www.adl.org/resources/fact-sheets/response-to-common-inaccuracy-arabs-ca https://www.quora.com/If-Arabs-are-also-Semitic-then-why-does-the-term-Anti-Semi [Post edited 20 Jul 2018 8:21]

Indeed. Although created as a Jewish homelands after the holocaust the Israeli Declaration of Independence states “ written that the State of Israel 'will ensure complete equality of social and political rights to all its inhabitants irrespective of religion, race or gender“. This latest law is from a right wing leader if a right wing party. You can be a Zionist and believe Israel has the right o exist but at the same time be highly critical of its current policies. Just as we can with every state in the world. Israel’s right to exist should not be questioned because if the policies if it’s government. We don’t do it with any other government we disagree with and that is where the antisemitism comes in. | |

Victory for Israeli racist rigt wing jews........apply your own parallels! on 21:10 - Jul 19 by GlasgowBlue | You really are trying too hard banksy. Israel was born out of the Balfour declaration which called for a "national home for the Jewish people" in 1917. Has this come as news to you some 101 years later? The need to establish a Jewish homeland was obviously obviously a matter of some urgency after 6 million Jews were exterminated by a madman in Europe. Does denying Jews the right to self determination make one an anti semite? Yes. As per the IHRA definition. Does that mean you can't call out Israel for the things you believe they are doing wrong? Absolutely not. Criticise away. just because you don't like the government or the actions of a government doesn't mean you can deny the country's right to exist. I don't like what Assad is doing in Syria. Nor do I like what Kim Kim Jong-un is doing in North Korea. But I wouldn't suggest that either country no longer has the right to exist.

Victory for Israeli racist right wing jews........apply your own parallels! on 09:38 - Jul 20 with 2132 views | GlasgowBlue | Further to your op I’d like to link two articles from Haaretz, which is a liberal left of centre Israeli publication. The first demonstrates that you can be highly critical of the policies of the Israeli government without resorting to antisemitic language, whilst the second, from a left if centre viewpoint highlights how badly wrong U.K. Labour is dealing with the definition of antisemitism. https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/progressive-jews-blast-israel-s-new-nation-s
With the rise of antisemitsm across Europe, from both the far right and the far left, the need for Israel to exist as a homeland for Jews to go and live in safety is more important than any other time since the war. [Post edited 20 Jul 2018 10:24]

Quite. Unfortunately some people still get mixed up between being Jewish by race/descent (inherited via the maternal line) and electing to follow the Jewish religion. The first is not a choice, the second is. | |

My hope is a party that picks the best (generally the moderate) parts of both parties and give an actual choice again, opposed to polar opposites that don't want to budge because the other will jump all over them and say it all fails. It isn't real politics at the moment, it shouldn't be just about point scoring it should be about being the best we can be and treating people in the best way | |

It's not utter nonsense. It's factually accurate. Arabs are Semites. Wanting to own the language and define the terms is a part of how the Zionists fight criticism of Israel, as evidenced by that "soft anti-Semitism" article that you posted a few days ago. Pointing out the Semitic common ancestry of Jews and Arabs muddies the waters for those wanting a Single State solution. It's an inconvenient fact, but Arabs are Semites. The state of Israel doesn't own that name and they don't get to drive Arabs out of their Semitic identity. | | | |

Well that didn’t take long to bring Zionist and Israel into it. Perhaps read the links and the origins of the term anti semite and you will be aware that it has nothing to do with being anti Arab. That excuse is a well used diversionary tactic to excuse antisemtism. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/us/anti-semitism https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/anti-Semitism https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/anti-semitism?q=anti-Semi http://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-arabs-are-semites-too-fallacy/ Edit. What was the soft abtisemitism article I posted the other day. 2nd edit. I’m amazed that anyone is still trying to muddy the waters by attempting to claim that the term antisemitic refers to anything other than prejudice against Jews. I’m very surprised that it’s coming from you. [Post edited 20 Jul 2018 13:52]
