Stephen,
There is an unbelievable amount of anti-semitic garbage on the web ...
Yes this is true. And the "S" in Semitic should be capitalized.
Let me state for the record, that I do not have an anti-Semitic bone in
my body, am a big fan of almost everything in traditional Jewish culture
and literature, and am perhaps the only vortexian to (partially) speak
Yiddish. I do not like their Spy Agency messing in US internal events,
however, and I detest the radical form of Zionism, and even Sharon - as
do most of my Jewish-American friends.
Please be aware of this salient fact:
YOU CAN ACCUSE MOSSAD OF INVOLVEMENT IN WTC without being anti-Semitic.
You can detest Mossad without being anti-Semitic. You can detest radical
Zionism (including Sharon) without being anti-Semitic !
Any attempt to portray this investigation of Mossad and 9/11 as
anti-Semitic is itself anti-American and DESPICABLE from anyone who
considers himself to be an open-minded American partiot.
OK, points taken... sorry.
I spend too much time hanging around the relativity newsgroup, where
real anti-Semitism crops up all too often. And then I start seeing it
where it isn't.
And BTW our own State Department site is intentionally pandering
**Disinformation** on this issue. One hopes it is not based on an
ulterior motive to protect those in the administration who are friends
of Mossad.
They (State) do no address the issue of the *single* Israeli casualty
(i.e citizen of Israel), nor the Odigo warning, but instead they
intentionally try to confuse that issue (and make it appear as
anti-Semitic - by callously throwing in the names of all the Jewish
Americans who perished. This in itself is an act of anti-Semitism in
that it assumes that if you have a Jewish wounding name, you are Jewish.
They did not check the action religious preference of these people (as
such would be a violation of law - for one thing). That is not only
IRRELEVANT, as an implication (unless any of them were patrons of Odigo)
but is somewhat disrespectful of their memory and is anti-Semitic in its
assumptions.
Shame on you! Department of State for this piece of intentional
disinformation, disrespect for the families of the deceased, and veiled
anti-Semitism!
