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

You did not read my explanation very carefully.

It is anti-Semitic by giving President Trump Jewish features and showing him wearing a KIPAH and the dog a star of David collar! The kipah scullcap and Star of David are part of JEWISH religious custom and history. And that is not attacking Israel the state but attacking JEWS who wear the kipah and the star of David everywhere NOT JUST IN ISRAEL. You ought also take into consideration President Trump has Jews in his family including his daughter Ivanka.

I mean what more do you need....the Trump figure eating a bagel and lox?

Finally if the Times depicted President Obama dressed as an Arab carrying a Koran in one hand and a machine gun in the other would you have needed 5 minutes to consider if that was anti-Islamic?

@Abrienda You are exactly right on this. People are just so clueless to the truth, It is very scary.

@LTKISS @BiasForAction

Yes they are...and if people refuse to believe me when I wrote that the cartoon was anti-Semitic then I guess they know more than the management at the New York itself who stupidly published it -

UPDATE: In a memo to staff, the New York Times' publisher says the editor who selected an anti-Semitic cartoon is being disciplined, and the paper is "updating our unconscious bias training to ensure it includes a direct focus on anti-Semitism"

@BiasForAction

Notice any similarities? Or do you need another five minutes to figure out the intent of this one also?

The Jew Leads Churchill By The Hand (1940)

@Abrienda No you do not need a second to recognize this as anti-semantic.

@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.
