Jews in New York rally against Obama
Via The Good Atheist:
I just don’t get it. I partially feel as if this is all coming from a big misunderstanding but the intolerance and racism – nonetheless – is inexcusable. Did I miss the speech where Obama said he was giving Israel to someone else (as if he could)? Or the speech where Obama said he was going to bring about peace by giving into anyone?
One could easily note ‘racism isn’t only for white Christians’. If Jews are ‘white’, as I’ve been told my entire life, then so is everyone else in that region. Maybe by being in America for so many generations, you become white? No, that doesn’t make any sense. But I can’t see how you can just draw the line wherever you please.
Right in the middle of the video, a man utters “The Jewish people have always been very accommodating to people of all faiths”. How can he say that with a straight face? Where do I begin to rip that statement into shreds? Growing up, I was always told that Israel never does anything wrong and its always everyone else’s fault. Just recalling this, irks me quite a bit. It almost feels as if I’ve been lied to my whole life. I realize there may be more terrorists in the Islamic faith but Israel and Judaism is not fault-free by any means.
