What does it mean to be anti-Semitic ??
 
That is a good question. We all share this planet and names are a way of placing us in groups or factions so we fight each other. I think the middle east
is a power keg waiting for its moment. I can not see the Hatfield's and McCoy's kissing a making up so that leaves the option of war then a peace treaty which is just a lull in war so they can fight some more. The land over there they are fighting for looks like a pile of sand and rock. Time has not made things better for them and war either. I think we all have some common blood or DNA in us and it would be nice to give peace a chance.

What does it mean to be anti-Semitic ??
 
Ok, I'll take a whack at this one. In my opinion any talk about wiping "the jews", "the zionists", or Israel off the map is anti-semitic. I don't know the history of the Semites, but often the conotation of a word changes over time to fit into current society and borders.

As for the Iranians, even though I do not wish them to have nukes, I don't want to see anyone "wiped off the map" except for those unfortunately enough to be working on a nuclear program. In that case, I am for knocking out their nuclear program today, even if it only buys us 5 more years to figure out what to do, or to develop better spy and defense technology. They way they have racheted up their rhetoric, it is almost like they want us to hit their nuke facilities. Begging for it. I wonder why?

Begging for it.
 
Iran would like us to look like the bad guy in eyes of the world if we attack them. It sounds like the leader is about to loose his grip on power with a little more time. Give peace a chance and like all dictators he will fall from with in and the US can stay out of another war. Even the "third world" people are getting on line these days and the way dictators work is thru control of the media and they are loosing that in a major way. It always amazes me how the few control the many. With technology catching up like it has in the last hundred years the Mullahs are shaking in their boots.

Like all dictators he will fall from within
 
Very, VERY few dictators are deposed by their own countrymen. They either commit suicide, are removed from power by foreign forces, or they reign until death. Just thought I'd set ya straight on that.

I guess Castro is a good example. I wonder what is going to happen down in Cuba once Castro finally bites the dust?

Doesn't he have a hard liner type brother or son ready to take control ? It could be just more of the same ?

Sounds like fun, let's name all the dictators overthrown by their own 'country men'

I guess the U.S. would be an example of that correct ?
we deposed our 'long distance' king. We freakin' do things the right way :-)

Didn't some Russian Tsar get overthrown ?
did not the U.S. government help out in some way, (militarily?) during some Russian revolution?

Seems we helped China out at sometime pre WWII in battles against Japan.

Seems we've gone out of our way to help countries that come back to bite us in the !@#. We helped Iraq in the Iraq-Iran war, we helped Afghanistan in their fight against the Russians...

Sorry, got off on a tangent their.

What does it mean to be anti-Semitic ?
 
There is a large group of people in Israel that say they are Jews and are not. What I am saying is that the word Jew can mean a geographic location or a religion. Judah is one of the tribes of Israel and most of them left and migrated north with the other tribes of Israel and imposters have laid claim to the name "Jew" that have no blood connection to the tribe of Judah. True Judah has a black eye because of the fakes that claim to be of Judah and thus causing political turmoil. The time is coming when these fakes will exposed for who they are. This is not being anti-Semitic this defending the real children of Judah.

It is time for the people of Iran to depose their leader or get ready to lay in the same bed with him. Clock is ticking and W. has the trigger finger just a shaking ;) I wonder how this thread ended up on my profile page and not in the list of threads I started ?? :rolleyes:
