Anti-Israel Jew Whines: "The Zionist Global Conspiracy is Shutting Us Down!"

The author is whining because they were scheduled to meet with a Jewish youth group and it got cancelled.  She was supposed to speak against Israel after an AIPAC speaker spoke in favor of Israel.  The author is a member of Jewish Voice For Peace, a Jewish group that opposes Israel.  The claim made is that an AIPAC member told the youth group leadership to keep the Jewish Voice For Peace people out, or they'd take away their funding, and the whole thing got cancelled.

...I'm calling BS, if AIPAC was that powerful, why wouldn't they just make the youth group lecture AIPAC only? 

Why is Israel's increasingly brutal 40-year occupation of Palestinian land regularly debated in the mainstream media abroad, including in Israel, but not here? And why is there an almost total lack of discussion among presidential candidates about the dollars that subsidize this occupation and the American diplomatic support that makes it possible?

 

Why isn't it discussed here?  It is discussed, but the problem for people who hate Israel like you is that the American people are the only people that won't budge from the position that Israel has a right to exist, and you know it you stupid twat.  And the reason those subsidies don't get discussed is because most people agree that Israel should get them, with the exception being the Nutroots and Paleocon crackpots like Pat Buchanan. 

And you have the nerve to talk about Israeli brutality?   I don't see the Israelis purposely targeting civilians, however I do see Palestinian terrorists doing so regularly, attempting to blow themselves up in pizzarias and buses full of civilians.

In a society built on the free exchange of ideas, as Walt and Mearsheimer point out, one answer can be found by looking at the many self-appointed gatekeepers, such as Abraham Foxman and the Anti-Defamation League, or Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, who use their Jewish identity as both a shield and cudgel. They work diligently to silence those who question ill-conceived policies of the Israeli and U.S. governments.

Ah, I see, this is the type of person we're dealing with here.  For those that don't know, Walt and Mearsheimer wrote a book claiming AIPAC and some other powerful Jews and Jewish groups form and excesssively influence most of the US policy in the Middle East.  Basically its a new spin on the old classic Anti-semite "Jews control the world" meme, as I've heard Abraham Foxman call it.  The authors mad at Dershowitz because he's been going after Jew-Hatin' Jimmy Carter for his hateful book.

Of course, they're not being silenced, or I wouldn't be making fun of this numbskull, cuz I would have never seen this stupid article.

Non-Jewish critics, even former President Carter, are denounced as anti-Semites. Special ire is reserved for Jewish dissenters, who are branded as "self-hating" or "marginal," while Muslim and Arab-Americans are easily smeared and even criminalized with charges of supporting terrorism.

Jimmy Carter does hate Jews, half of his political thinktank bailed on him because they were appalled at his anti-Semitic book, and not to mention his cheerleading for the vile terrorist group Hamas.

I can't be bothered to dissect the rest of it, basically a couple of people who are facing opposition in getting chairs at colleges and a few cancelled speaking engagements, blah blah, being repressed, so here's the last bit,

Unless this atmosphere of intimidation is confronted, Americans will continue to lack access to information and perspectives necessary to formulate effective Middle East policies, virtually ensuring that Israel and the United States will be at war for many years to come.

And that's where much of this newfound "Anti-Zionism" garbage stems from, and why a lot of the Nutroots are becoming outright Anti-Semites.  The Left in America is first and foremost anti-war, if Western nations are fighting it (doubly so of they're winning), and that is where we get some of the Anti-Israel Jews from.  

This is also likely why people like Pat Buchanan and other isolationists tend to be anti-Semitic, that said, the real question then becomes a chicken and egg conundrum, which came first, the Anti-Semitism, or the anger at Israel because it forces them into an ideologically incompatible place?

Its not that the Anti-Israel Jews aren't Jewish, I'm not claiming that, they're just religiously Liberal first, and for a Leftist, that means they have to abandon the tiny outpost of western democracy in the Middle East, even if it means the total slaughter of a people at the hands of a brutal and fanatic enemy that represents everything the Left claims to oppose and fear in America.
