So how come criticism of semitic Arabs and Muslims isn't addressed?
Because we DEMONIZE them in the Zionist-controlled United States?
"U.S. Government Equates Some Criticism Of Israel With Anti-Semitism"
"WASHINGTON – The Bush administration has taken the groundbreaking step of identifying some virulent criticism of Israel as anti-Semitism, as it warns that anti-Jewish attitudes and incidents are on the rise worldwide.
Criticism of Israel is NOT anti-Semitism!
In a new study, the U.S. State Department cites Tel Aviv University’s Stephen Roth Institute in reporting an increase of serious anti-Semitic incidents, encompassing physical attacks and vandalism, from 406 in 2005 to 593 in 2006.
The new study, "Contemporary Global Anti-Semitism," also cites a range of other nongovernmental organizations to show dramatic increases in Latin America, Australasia and Europe, including a 31 percent spike in incidents in Britain from 2005 to 2006 and a 35 percent jump in Argentina during the same period.
The report goes quite far in warning about the intensification of anti-Semitic rhetoric among governments and international elites, and its policy recommendations are unusually strong for State Department reports, which generally refrain from pronounced language.
Yeah, language is a problem.
As opposed to the mass-murder of millions of Muslims!
Its boldest venture is to name some attacks on Israel as anti-Semitism. In addition, the report marks the first time the U.S. government has made it a policy to apply the label of anti-Semitism to some criticism of Israel.
This is why they get the vitriol; sick of this brainwashed shit being shoved down our throats!
"Anti-Semitism has proven to be an adaptive phenomenon," the report said. "New forms of anti-Semitism have evolved. They often incorporate elements of traditional anti-Semitism. However, the distinguishing feature of the new anti-Semitism is criticism of Zionism or Israeli policy that – whether intentionally or unintentionally – has the effect of promoting prejudice against all Jews by demonizing Israel and Israelis and attributing Israel’s perceived faults to its Jewish character."
Maybe if Israel wasn't committing WAR CRIMES I'd feel better about them.
ENDING the SIEGE of GAZA would be a start!
In a town where tone often matters more than substance in assessing a government’s priorities, the pronounced focus on anti-Semitism stands out, especially when compared to the State Department’s separate, relatively muted report on human rights worldwide.
Translation: U.S. foreign policy now SERVES ISRAEL, not the United States!
U.S. diplomats and other officials will be expected to take their cues from this forceful language in how they deal with political groups and individuals overseas.
In its introductory overview – generally the part of any report that is most closely read by U.S. officials seeking guidance on an issue – the report singles out governments that have had particularly parlous relations with the Bush administration, including Iran, Syria and Venezuela.
The body of the report, however, includes pronounced examples of anti-Semitism among the elites of nations that the United States has cultivated as allies, including Russia, Ukraine and Iraq.
Among other examples, it notes cartoons in the Greek and Arab press depicting Israelis as Nazis, as well as statements by Greek and British politicians to that effect.
How come THIS CARTOON doesn't raise a fuss -- or even make the Zionist-controlled AmerIkan MSM!
Some examples date as far back as 1991, and the report also includes examples of graffiti without reporting whether it is sanctioned or tolerated by the responsible authorities.
More could have been done to rate how different nations tackle anti-Semitism, said Paul LeGendre, the senior associate for fighting discrimination and hate crimes at Human Rights First, the only major human rights watchdog that deals with hate crimes.
"Ukraine is a country that we’re particularly concerned about at the moment," LeGendre said by way of example.
I expect they will start getting bad press here in AmerIka then!
LeGendre said its government has condemned outbreaks of anti-Semitism, but "it doesn’t seem to be translating into action at the police local levels, where crimes need to be prosecuted as hate crimes and not hooliganism."
Yeah, really pushing the "hate crimes," huh?
Please see: Jewish Graffiti
Still, he welcomed the report as an important contribution to raising awareness.
"I hope this keeps it on the radar screen and lets other government know that the U.S. sees this as an important issue that needs to be taken seriously," LeGendre said.
As opposed to Iraq, the economy, health care, education, and all the other problems America has!
Nope, Israel's problems should come first!
The report, which was sent to Congress last month, culminates four years of research launched in 2004 after U.S. lawmakers passed a bill commissioning such a report. The process was accelerated in 2006 when President Bush named Gregg Rickman as the first U.S. special envoy on anti-Semitism.
Jewish groups, including the Anti-Defamation League and the American Jewish Committee, welcomed the report, as did some members of Congress.
I'll bet they did!
"All too often, legitimate criticism of the State of Israel can veer into naked anti-Semitism characterized by vile hate speech," said U.S. Rep. Howard Berman (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, in a statement. "When hate speech arises, we should call it what it is – and do what can be done to stop it."
Well, if the shoe fits!
And how about this for hate speech, readers?
“Our race is the Master Race. We are divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.” -- Former Israeli Prime Minister Menechem Begin
“One million Arabs are not worth a Jewish fingernail.” — Rabbi Yaacov Perrin (NY Daily News, Feb. 28, 1994, p.6)"
The 94-page report deals at length with Holocaust denial as a vehicle for anti-Semitism, focusing particularly on the role Iran’s government has taken in its propagation.
You know, I'm sorry but take a look at the bottom of this post.
I'm tired of constantly refuting and debunking, folks!
It also targets the United Nations system, saying the double standards some of its constituent bodies display toward Israel promotes a hostile environment for Jews.
Well if that ain't biting the hand that ignores your war crimes, I don't know what is.
How ARROGANT! How INSOLENT!
"Regardless of the intent, disproportionate criticism of Israel as barbaric and unprincipled, and corresponding discriminatory measures adopted in the UN against Israel have the effect of causing audiences to associate negative attributes with Jews in general, thus fueling anti-Semitism," it says.
Yeah, and WHOSE LAND-STEALING, MASS-MURDERING, GENOCIDAL FAULT is that?
Hey, up until two years or so ago, I believed all the Zionist propaganda!
NEVER AGAIN!
The report noted the singling out of Israel for condemnation by the UN General Assembly and, in particular, the UN Human Rights Council, as well as the tendency to keep Israel out of regional groupings, hampering its efforts to accrue legitimacy (JTA)."
Yeah, the problem is someone saying something about their war crimes -- not that the Israelis are committing them!
Pffffttt!
