Just Keep Repeating: Being Anti-Israel Is NOT Being Anti-Semitic!

@Abrienda Yes, political cartoons that criticize the behavior of nations or religions offend people. So do cartoons that employ stereotypes of a people, religion, or a nation. And sometimes this even leads to violence against the publisher of the political cartoon.

I wasn't offended by the NYT cartoon that offended you and so many others. I am not going to apologize for that nor am i likely to change my mind. I am thankful that I live in a country where free expression is a protected right, even for those who express a view that offends me.

@BiasForAction Ummmm....I understand. Do you extend that same liberal view to the one example I gave and to all other cases? Or do you think anti-Semitism simply doesn't exist?

The one thing you don't see is that stereotypical depictions of Jews was used to accustom people's minds to their annihilation. Not ALL cases are the same.

However "hate speech" does not exist - just evil ideas which are best dealt with by confronting them rationally not banning them as the Left wishes to do.

My simple question was did you see it the cartoon as anti-Semitic, not should it be banned. Instead you conflated the two. That you could not "see" it as anti-Semitic after any length of time "studying" it showed a intentional effort NOT to see what the Times itself finally did. Nor did you reply to my example about Islam nd Obama. Since silence is agreement I will suppose you did, so why the double standard?

@Abrienda very good questions. Very well written.

@Heartlander Exactly. Russia has been waging war against Ukraine for the past 100 years, costing many millions of Ukranians lives. Today it's no different. Personally I like Russians more than Ukrainians but that doesn't change the fact the Russians are attacking Ukraine without cause and doing whatever it can to bring it down and are deeply in the wrong. This from the girl who is being constantly called a Russian bot or "agent" by illiterate Leftists cretins here.

@Abrienda

If there is a "good" side of the Russian-Ukraine squabble to choose from it depends on the slice of history you prefer to examine. Unfortunately, news organizations like the NYT pick a side and skew their coverage to convince readers it's the right side.

While we ordinary citizens have the choice to read or not read such newspapers as the NYT, the real danger to truth is when news organizations collude with elected and policy makers within our government. Collusion between the liberal media and liberal politicians is s serious threat to our democracy.

@Heartlander To all nations not just the USA. Happily Central Europe still has a free media to choose from.
