I've recently been called "Anti-Semitic," i.e., being opposed to folks with the characteristic of Semites or the Semite peoples, (implying that I am against all Semite people or that only Jewish people can be Semite.) for stating that Jews are responsible for the death of Jesus. It is a very ignorant charge, considering who is found often using it, but I was pretty shocked. I've never heard of this perspective before. I thought was very indisputable, it is written in clear text the Bible probably even in the Talmud.

Is this a new trend to downplay a Biblical Holocaust?

Your quality has really been going down recently. Too much time emulating the 2 bit wanna-bees on the sc2 subforum.

I have no idea what you are talking about Brian, I hope that one day you have a post with content worth responding to.

I want to know where this new interpretation of the Bible has emerged from, is it political?

in what context were you stating that jews killed jesus? its very easy to make a such a statment while also having anti semetic undertones.

plus theres a bit more to it, its most clearly the romans that killed him, not that the jewish people didnt play a part.

I stated that they played a central role in his death, had no idea facts could have anti-"Semitic" undertones.

Revisionism, to make the truth more swallowable for the small minds, isn't acceptable.

but what is the context? Hitler used the same fact to convince millions of christians to support his holocust, if one were using the same fact in the same way, id say its quite anti semetic.

Anti semite is now used as a ad hominem towards anyone who does not support zionism.

in general true but if the one who criticises zionism is a jew, then the correct term is self-hater

Ahh, it doesn't make sense though. Aren't all people in that region Semites too? That is a dishonest usage of language and shit like that pisses me off. It is clever though, like the term racism, in shutting down any opposition. There's another term with interesting origins and usage.

I think Zionism is the most forward practice of Nationalism available and should be used as an example of how to do things properly and effectively.

zionism is often radical and fanatic. Fanatics are often the cause of trouble
