37. Seriously? She's probably antisemitic b/c she's an antisemite?

So how do you know for sure?

Weir is easy, she's pushing an agenda that's awfully one-sided and full of holes, and she fails to understand that her demonization of her enemy exactly translates into anti-Semitism if brought into the real world.

This describes a lot of antizionists. How do you distinguish between the good and the rotten ones?

Once again, what exactly would you need to see from Atzmon that would lead to you to conclude he's a Jew hating POS?

I think it would be possible to draw a parallell between Atzmon and Nietzsche's argumentation in Little Tich Jun 2016 #48

I'm trying to discuss these ideas, not Atzmon himself. shira Jun 2016 #49

If your accusations were true, then Atzmon's argumentation would of course be anti-Semitic. Little Tich Jun 2016 #50
