Its amazing how anywhere on the internet, when some one criticizes the actions of Israel, dozens of sock puppets show up to start slandering and attacking the characters of anyone who doesn't fall in line. I guess that is the only alternative when you can't win a debate via facts.
Yes,
amazing...
Here's a few facts about this thread:
1. The video in the OP shows a Jew being harassed by Muslims in France.
2. The second post accuses Jews, not Israelis, of killing Jesus.
3. Israel is not mentioned until the 5th post which said "what about a video of 10 hours walking in israel as someone that looks like an arab?"
(I suppose this is the first post that counts as "criticism" of Israel, but the criticism is not supported by the *fact* that Israel has a significant Arab population.)
4. Many of the first replies are direct criticism of Jews, not of Israel, of Jews. Anyone can go back and read them. Here is a snapshot in case people start editing/deleting:
https://web.archive.org/web/20150219215827/https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=958135.0;all5. The 10th and 15th replies include denying the holocaust.
6. Your (TecShare's) first contribution to this thread was replying "The only problem with this scenario is there would be about 10 minutes of walking then 9 hours and 50 minutes of him bleeding out."
(Again, what you are stating is blatantly false, as many Arabs live in Israel and are not, in fact, killed for walking through the street. Do you care about facts?)
7. Someone said that asserting "Palestine was never a country"* is equivalent to denying the holocaust.
People can decide for themselves if this is a thread about hating Jews or a thread about criticizing Israel. Can you point me to the "criticism of Israel" in this thread?
You also said: 'There isn't a rising "Jew hatred" happening all over the world.' People can look up the facts about hate crimes by race/religion in European countries, at least the ones that collect such statistics. People can look up for themselves whether or not Jewish cemeteries in Europe are being vandalized with swastikas. Indeed Jews are being literally targetted and killed for being Jewish. Not just recently: look up Ilan Halimi. The video in the OP makes it quite clear what the situation is. It doesn't do much good to look up the situation for Jews in the Muslim world, since that part of the world has been mostly "cleansed" of Jews already.
* What does it mean to say "X is a country"? Is it about recognition of "X" as a country? If so, by whom? What is the criteria? A statement like "Palestine was a country" is hopelessly vague. If someone wanted to support the claim "Palestine was a country" then they would need to say what that means and when the criteria was satisfied. If someone wants to learn more about the history of that region generally,
palestinefacts.org is a good resource.
Maybe it's good to give an example distinguishing fact from opinion.
Fact: In the past 100 years, more Muslims have been killed by Muslims than have been killed by Jews.
Opinion: The reason why Israel is criticized more than Jordan [see Black September] for fighting Palestinian terrorists is because the ones making the criticism have a problem with Jews.
We aren't having a debate. A debate involves clear statements and the presentation of evidence to support or refute the statements. Even if we were to have a debate and I were to "win" it would be a hollow victory. Eventually the day is likely to come when you get your millions of dead Jews (again). On that day you can loudly celebrate, while I will quietly wonder if I could've done more.
