Plus, this is a guy who said the Iraq War would bring more peace and stability to the Middle East and that Sudaam had WMD's. In fairness to the last point, Hillary also insisted Hussien had WMDs.

The Jews I know (and I know a lot, I’m the only gentile in my company) are all staunch conservatives and pro-Israel. No, anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism.

Just reminding everyone that if you lean left because you believe Bush lied about WMDs, that''s a ridiculous reason to lean left given how vocal Hillary was about Iraq having WMDs. 1

Where the Home Depot is on Elmwood now was back then stood the Buffalo Tennis (and Racketball) Club with a bar-ish place to the side/front. I found out they were showing the game for 5 bucks a head and told my (then) husband we were going. My sister's (ex) boyfriend also showed up. I had gotten there early enough to get a booth, so we settled in to watch. Well by halftime those two wanted to leave, and I told them "go" but I am staying to the bitter end. They decided not to leave me in what was a packed sports bar with a rowdy crowd. Needless to say, they both thanked me afterward. Ironically, my ex-husband had decided to not go to the game with his two BILs. Said BILs left early and were part of the crowd trying to get back in the stadium (but were denied re-entry). So yup, there were places to watch the whole game in the blackout area. 1

Van Miller called the action on the radio for me.

No, Joe, it isn't to passively advocate for the destruction of the Jewish people any more than it would be for any other group of people with historically similar circumstances. IE. opposition to La Raza does not make you bigoted against Latinos or Mexican decent; opposition to reparations does not make you bigoted against blacks. That's lazy thinking. Jews are no different than anyone else, and simply because they have a preferred solution to their problems doesn't mean you hate or wish to discriminate against them by opposing it.

So, then, would you classify Fatah, Hizbollah and Hamas as anti-zionist? Edited May 17, 2018 by joesixpack typing is hard
