ONE love, blood, life
Recently there was some controversy over comments by Jewish American journalist Sy Hersch when he slated wealthy Jewish Americans who, it is claimed, back neo-con policies such as the conquest of Iraq:-

This harkened back to comments earlier in the year made by retired general and mooted Democratic Presidential candidate Wesley Clark (who is partially Jewish by blood) along similar lines, when Clark claimed that what he described as "New York money people" were pushing for a war on Iran.

What was Sy Hersch talking about? Is he an anti-Semite, or a self-hating Jew?
Hardly, as Jewish Americans are more opposed to the conquest of Iraq than ANY OTHER US RELIGIOUS GROUP.

On this very forum, an Iraq war supporter once claimed that critics of neo-conservatism are motivated by anti-semitism.
Are critics of neo-conservatism motivated by anti-semitism?
Do Jewish critics of the Iraq war secretly hate themselves?
If I condemn the actions of the provisional IRA, does that make me a self-hating Paddy?
If an English person condemns the BNP does that make them unpatriotic?
Is a Muslim who condemns Al-Queda a traitorous infidel?
The answer to these questions is obvious.
So when is the US mainstream media going to cut the bullshit?
