    New Policy On Accusations of Racism?

    So I noticed that there seems to be a new forum policy on calling other posters racist. I tend to agree with the new policy. Calling someone a racist is generally insulting, especially when the accusation is without basis. I have to ask, though, does this new policy extend to accusations of "antisemitism" and the like? I don't see how it could be otherwise, since accusing someone of antisemitism is effectively accusing them of being racist. I also find it pretty ironic that the same people who tend to complain about being called a racist are the same people who like to accuse others of being antisemitic. Once again, it seems hypocrisy is at work among some members of the forum. Apparently, they can dish it, but they cannot take it.

    I see no problem with calling a racist a racist. If someone is so thin skinned that he is going to cry if someone calls you a name, maybe he should go hang out on the Sesame Street Forum.

    I have been accused of being an anti-semite. I am not! I am anti-ZIONIST of the policies of Ben Nutanyahu
    of never considering a two state solution for Israel, and his seizure of lands that do not belong to them

    Israel has a right to exist. So that in a way is Zionist. Going beyond that is imperialism, and the wanton slaughter of Palestinians is pathetic.They need to pull out of Lebanon, and Syria and mind their own business. It is always the RWNJ's who accuse others of anti-semitism.

    You say things that antisemites say so don't be too surprised.
    Whoever criticizes capitalism, while approving immigration, whose working class is its first victim, had better shut up. Whoever criticizes immigration, while remaining silent about capitalism, should do the same.

    Many on the forum dont feel the same way, theres always differences of opinion but the lionshare complained about it and it was both that complained. That necessitated taking action

    Ive said it more than once, being against israel does not mean you are anti semetic, some are.

    Its the same with the race card, you can be against the race card and many of the things that are called racist today without being a racist, unfortunately many dont want to separate the two

    You are clearly a kook.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.

    Despite this wanton slaughter and genocide the Palestinian population keeps growing. Sorry, while I'm critical of organized Jewish activity in the US I have a herd time believing the Israeli government is that incompetent.
