As some of you have so kindly pointed out, blaming Israel for the rising racism of its population is like blaming women for rape. This is exactly what Avigdor Lieberman does here.

2 December, 2010 - 10:39 Rate this: -1 points | Jonathan, good morning. How are you? I respectfully think you missed the point. It's an easy thing to do. Just as some here, and I am not naming names, have used the analogy of blaming a woman for rape against those who have had the audacity to point out that Israel and Israelis are becoming more racist, Lieberman is blaming the Arabs for this racism (which is like blaming women for rape). |
2 December, 2010 - 10:41 Rate this: 1 point | Tell me tspam, do you get up in the morning and think what Jew can I attack today? Every one of your posts is an attackon another Jew - and ne'er a criticism of any Arab state or terror group. That is racism. So anything you say is not constructive, because it stems from racist hatred. |
2 December, 2010 - 10:43 Rate this: -1 points | Amber, thanks. May I turn the tables: Do you get up in the morning and think how can I defend the indefensible? |
2 December, 2010 - 10:50 Rate this: 1 point | t'sam, You are just trying to stir up trouble as usual. Why don't the moderators see you for what you are? Unless it is true that you work for the JC and are on the blog to "play devils advocate". |
2 December, 2010 - 10:54 Rate this: 3 points | tspam, I get up an dthink how can I defend the bullied against the bullies - which is what you are. You do not sinply criticize Israeli policies within a wider context of the conflict - you ONLY attack Israel (and not always policies either - you last was an attack on Israelis, who you claim are mostly racists). That isn't a policy, is it tspam? You are a classic Jew hater. Even when outright antisemites like zair or stephen b spewed forth their hatred, you even sided with them. |
2 December, 2010 - 10:56 Rate this: 2 points | This is what tspam just wrote on another blog: "if Israel acts to a higher standard than anywhere in the ME, and is found wanting, then it guilty of antisemitism." Can anyone explain what the hell this means? |

You think he cares to understand what he writes? |
jose (not verified) 2 December, 2010 - 11:29 Rate this: 0 points | Tspam, you don't understand what Lieberman says. He doesn't say the Arab countries are responsible for the increased racism of Israelis towards Israeli Arab citizens. That would be the equivalent of what you pretend (ie Israel's actions fostering antisemitism in all the rest of the world). Lieberman says that the actions of the Israeli Arab leaders does the Israeli Arab minority a great disservice. And he gives a good example of that MK who disappeared after being indicted for having contact with a terror group (which is forbidden to all, not only Israeli Arabs). As usual, Tspam shows his total inability to read as simple text without changing the meaning in a biased fashion, as to lible israel and Israeli government. He also does that for all other countries but in the other direction... And double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism. |
2 December, 2010 - 11:31 Rate this: 2 points | Thanks for posting this Tsam, a very interesting article. I don't think you're an anti-Semite. I just think you're reminiscing about the romantic version of Eretz Israel and not accepting the realities of our neighbour's hatred towards us. You're just frustrated that Israeli politicians aren't following your views from here in London (or wherever you are). You've twisted the title to suit your anti-YB view. The party you've been brainwashed to loathe by the British media, Ha'aretz and the JC. Well sorry Tsam (and friends),Avigdor, Danny and co are here to stay. Doesn't matter how much the press choose to label them - they are permanent in Israeli politics. Voted in democratically by 30% of , etcIsraeli citizens. Their popularity is growing in Israel and now many of the Anglo Israeli community is choosing to vote for them too. Armchair politicians in the UK are just going to have to wring their hands, write poisonous blogs, kick the tv, etc. Hard luck :) |
2 December, 2010 - 12:00 Rate this: -1 points | Jonathan, I'm so sorry to see that one of your posts was moderated. That's becoming something of a habit. Perhaps you should calm down dear. |
2 December, 2010 - 12:02 Rate this: -3 points | Kahina, that's an interesting point and spot on in some respects. However, Yisrael Beiteinu has a problem: it sold out to the ultra-Orthodox on civil marriages and other bugbears for its former Soviet constituency. |

Again some misinterpretation by Tspam, coloured by the tainted glasses he uses exclusively when looking at Israel. |

Jon, don't use oxymorons: "tspam" and "work". |
2 December, 2010 - 12:24 Rate this: 0 points | José, I love your optimism. The day Israel gets rid of the last traces of mixing state and religion is the day the Messiah will come. Shas and United Torah Judaism will outlast Yisrael Beiteinu and be the power brokers. |

jose (not verified) 2 December, 2010 - 12:46 Rate this: 0 points | You have to understand Tspam, that you don't know much about Israeli politics, looking from planet Mars or even further. And double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism. Israel Beitenu will remain because of its strong popular basis and not because some Russians vote for them. Lots vote for Avoda and lots for Likud too, and that is not new. |
jose (not verified) 2 December, 2010 - 12:56 Rate this: -1 points | And of course, Tspam was not able to understand that Lieberman was not saying at all what Tspam pretended. But of course, double standards are a sure sign of antisemitism. |
2 December, 2010 - 15:38 Rate this: -2 points | Now you see this is a perfect example of how using ridiculous analogies can come back and bite you.Analogies should only be used by those with enough savvy to understand their nature and purpose and to use them intelligently. I never did get the woman and rape analogy anyway and I'm highly educated and cultured, bordering on genius. |
2 December, 2010 - 16:30 Rate this: 3 points | As I understand it Lieberman was saying that the moderate, educated, intelligent Israeli Arab population is being let down by the extremist rhetoric of their elected representatives who are giving them all a bad name and making trouble for everyone. So the OP is once again distorting information in order to alter peoples' perception of reality. I believe that is called brainwashing. A common technique used by the Iranian intelligence service. I think Lieberman makes a very good point. These MKs need to tone it down and start behaving more reasonably. It's the same scenario as the British public's attitudes towards Muslims being influenced by loud-mouths like Anjem Chowdray etc. I like Lieberman, although I have no political affiliations with YB. I think he's a plain talker and there are not enough politicians like that. I read much criticism of him based on his Russian ethnicity - which I think is quite racist. I also read, as a side note, that Muslims living in PA controlled zones are often amazed and impressed by the open nature of some of the Knesset debates, so perhaps the fiery rhetoric may have unforeseen positive consequences. |

That is perfectly evident to all, although slightly contradictory. Well, even totally contradictory, one should say... One with a real brain, I mean. |

HAHAHAHA! Is this the samsimonson who pretends to know epistemology? |
jose (not verified) 3 December, 2010 - 05:12 Rate this: 0 points | samsimonson mistake their beliefs for realities. Just look at the title he used for this blog post: Anyone can check in the article mentioned if Lieberman spoke about "women" or mentioned "rape". That is for the reality part of it. So, not only the title is a reality lie but also a factual lie of false analogy. Propaganda, as usual. |
