    Can you give me a source other than arabnews.com? I can't help but think they've got a dog in the fight.

    I'm not sure what you think I can do with that.

    I'm asking because the articles seem to try to paint Israel (of which I am no fan) in the worst possible light, by quoting parts of this editorial (but not providing the whole text -- if someone has it, please post), and by highlighting how influential it might be. I don't doubt there are virulent racist rabbis in Israel who want to kill the Palestinians. But, I don't trust these articles are trying to give us an accurate picture of their reach in Israeli society.

    It feels like if I were to go to the American Renaissance website (to pick on a recent villain) and republish the most hateful thing there I could find, and then point out that this website is visited by thousands of people, including some disaffected teenagers. AR might have actually inspired a couple of murders in it's time, and these rabbis too, but are either of these really as big as all that? Seems like an issue for the police, not foreign nationals like me.

    Good point...even the "moderate" news sources in the Arab world are so full of hate against jews that it is not surprising that many of the posters here with Arabic roots or connections are anti-semites, and many of their posts show it.

    Now why glynch is an anti-semite...I don't know.

    I know, because you can't. You've just assumed it, and proved my point here. Thanks.

    1) You did not have a point.
    2) Thus, no point was proven.
    3) Several posters have spoken of their families being from the region - but as I said, they can answer this themselves.

    i was born in Beirut, grew up in West Africa, schooled in Paris & now call Houston home. My roots are definitely from that part of the world (in fact my aunt has been a fixture on arab television since the last century).

    i'm confused, what was the question?

    The question was 'why are you such a raging anti-Semite?'. Because that's what everyone who has ever criticized a single Jewish person or called into question the actions of the Israeli government or military are to ATW.

    It's funny that you're only stepping in to throw out the typical anti-Semite label rather than trying to contribute to the discussion or refute what evidence has been presented.

    Aren't you always up in arms any time there are accusations of racism towards those who criticize Obama? How are your present actions any better?

    So, because I point out Atrocities committed by certain Jews, I must hate all Jews?

    Do you support the action of these Rabbis?

    You have to understand the ATW logic.

    You are speaking out against the atrocities of certain Jews. The rest of the Jews in the world haven't all gotten on television and denounced these extremists for ATW to witness, therefore every Jewish person is just as responsible because it is an inherent flaw in Judaism. Thus, you hate all Jewish people.
