1. BDS and history
Jacod Edelman ,   NYC   (11.02.16)
Politics is politics, history is history and religion is religion! Mixing all these creates a poisonous brew that creates a fog and people loose their way in its labyrinth. This is what I felt reading this article. BDS is the result of a political reality and the current Israeli leadership, and right wing writers, do not seem to understand its course and implications. You can't get yourself out of a jam by constantly gesticulating and accusing others with anti-semitism when none exists. It is stupid and it will backfire as it keeps constant in the mind of people a religious bigotry that has no place in our lives. Solve the problem and stop accusing the rest of the world.It is easy if Israel is WILLING!
2. Antisemitism will not go away and it's pointless to argue
(11.03.16)
with it.The issue has been beaten to death, back & forth. The Usual Idiots will always find imaginary faults with "The Jew". It's a involuntary reflex of a primitive, lazy tribal mindset.
3. Libel there was the work of Christian Priests from France
DamascusLibel ,   Jerusalem   (11.04.16)
I believe if you check the history of the Damascus Blood Libel it
actually was started by French Catholic Priests in Damascus
and then quickly spread to the Moslem population
great article however. Which also brings up the troubled
point that when the Jews of Syria and Iraq were murdered
and ethnically cleansed in the 1940-and 60's where were their
Christian Arab and Assyrian Christian neighbors ? I don't
remember any coming forth to help or save them these same
Middle Eastern Christians that are now themselves the victims
of murder violence and ethnic cleansing,,,?!!
