Why Anti-Zionism Is NOT Anti-Semitism

Point of clarification-One predicts the future, not the present. What you are doing is not prediction, it is blind speculation.

I get told the same thing when I say income taxes are legal, the WTC fell because planes rammed into it, and that the US was truly able to put a man on the moon. True believers, regardless of their belief, always spout the same to those who take them to task.

It’s groundhog day so we’re temporarily switching rodents.

Or we’re all part of the conspiracy…

I think that once you call the army of another country “terrorists” you win through sheer force of logic and we might as well all concede the argument to you and go on with our lives.

He meant tourists, I think.

Now, now… the IDF also includes the Israeli air force and navy too. Triple the force of logic!

What exactly is the debate here? You made a bunch of unsupported and frankly ridiculous statements and then a bunch of unsupported but probably accurate predictions. Well done.

Every time I hear the word “Zionist” I think of a scene in “The West Wing” near the middle of the fourth season. A Qumari ambassador is meeting with Leo regarding the assassination of the defense minister that Bartlet had executed. Leo is giving the ambassador factual information regarding the defense minister’s participation in terrorist training camps, and the Qumari ambassador says, with a tone of contempt, “Zionist propaganda.”

I can’t help hearing that tone of voice whenever I hear or read the word. It’s clear in that scene, and to me, clear in the majority of cases it’s used, that the word really means “Jewish scum.”

And THAT’S why it seems to me that the VAST majority of people who use the word in such a context are anti-Semitic.

I think you may have been infected by the OP and its associate.

Whle groundhogs are rodents, opposums, being marsupials, are in the Didelphimorphia order and the Didelphidae family.

Please do not let the current insanity corrupt our basic knowledge, here.
ETA: By “OP and its associate,” I am referring to the Original Post and to the similar (now closed) thread on the “protocals.”

God gave us this state, and by golly we’re going to keep it!

I will also note that the OP is so far away from any serious discussion of the topic, that any genuine discussion of the relationships between anti-semitism and opposition to Zionism should probably be kept out of this thread to avoid contamination.

We are talking about vampire oppossums. Everyone knows that they are descended from rodents. Says so in the Bible (properly interpreted).

Don’t confuse them with regular oppossums, which are indeed marsupials. Some of my best friends are regular oppossums. I have nothing against them, and they are not tools of Satan.

Ye shall pay for disrespecting marsupials. Either way though, remember that you rank below rodents and marsupials in the Heavenly Pantheon.

Happy to see itsmeshh joining Mister Obvious in casting these pearls of wisdom.

They laugh alike, they walk alike,
At times they even talk alike –
You can lose your mind

Hopefully they will soon be joined by gulgamat, ishkabible and topoegregio to help stir us out of our dangerous torpor.

Opossums are not true marsupials! They are the rodent children of Satan, spawned upon mortal rodents to imitate the forms of honest marsupials as part of the Devil’s long term plan to install the Ratichrist, in opposition to the Marsupial Messiah.

Hey, it makes as much sense as the OP…

I’ll have you know that the Ratichrist and Marsupial Messiah are joining my personal pantheon. :smiley:

I just had a Revelation: Sloth is not one of the Seven Deadly Sins-slothes are!

The difference is that the Opossumessiah was only playing dead.

I’m literally kicking myself for not having thought of that. :smiley:

Those things are from the Devil. I saw one once in my backyard, in the very early-morning light, when I was leaving to go to the hospital have a baby. I was overdue and on my way to being induced because my labor would not start. The thing had 8 half-grown babies hanging off of it, and all eighteen of their eyes were glowing red at me. I almost didn’t need the fucking pitocin…I nearly had that baby right then and there. <shudder>

No you’re not. You’re figuratively kicking yourself–unless your foot actually in real life literally hit your ass.
