Among Israel's "anti-Zionist" enemies:

Iran sponsored an international conference promoting Holocaust denial.

The Hamas charter calls for the murder of Jews - not Israelis or Zionists, but Jews.

Hezbollah blew up a Jewish community center in Argentina.

Believe it or not, there are people who want to exterminate the Jews. Of course, it's not like something like that has actually happened. Oh wait ...

And the fnords of the world compulsively make excuses for the above thugs while demonizing Israel. You don't have to call it "antisemitic". But I will.

Oh well, guess that makes me an anti-semite who wants to exterminate the Jewish people too.

Sure, but every post you've made here could have been endorsed by David Duke.

...........cool it man, go back and take your swivel-seat on the Nobel Committee of Smugitudinous Excessibus et Billiousissimus.

It must be nice to live in a world where everyone who disagrees with you are evil anti-semite monsters. Wish I could be that black and white.

Oh, and: Never a good dialogue without WW2 references, eh, Gary Rosen? What is quite funny is that I have been active fighting neo-nazis up here, both physically and on the net, as Hitchens used to do. And they argue surprisingly much like the lot of you. You folks supporting Israel are without any grace at all, just like your foreign minister. Tssk Tssk.

There is a minority opinion that jihad as a holy war only existed in the time of the khilaafat an nubuuwa, or the times of theocratic rule; i.e., the rule of the Prophet(saw), Abu Bakr, 'Umar, 'Uthman, and 'Ali.

When the Umayyid dynasty began, Islam became a "mulk" or kingship, and a jihad was a war like any other war.

The same thing they taught Vidkun Quisling decades ago - suck up to fascists and to hell with the Jews.

Yet you persistently and consistently condemn only the Jewish state of Israel for this, then whine about being called an antisemite.

No. Obama said, "Don't shoot, no matter what. Work it out peacefully." And there was a 2-day standoff, with the SEALs sighted in on the pirates the whole time, no doubt with itchy trigger fingers.

And then the warship captain stretched a loophole in his rules of engagement, and the next time one of the pirates made a move that could be interpreted as "immediate grave danger to the life of an American citizen", he let the SEALs loose. And it was over in seconds.

The only smart thing Obama did was to choose not to argue with the results, afterward. It's still not clear whether that captain has another promotion in his future.
