You could say "Likudniks" and I wouldn't say a word about it. But for you it's always gotta be "Jews."

:nono:
Likud is exclusively Jews.
Probably. But Jews are not exclusively Likudniks. Referring to "Likud Jews" is a bit like talking about "Catholic theists". In each case the latter word is redundant. Insisting on using it adds nothing to the issue. What does add to the issue is that "The station was established by Israeli peace activists working together with Palestinian peace activists" and the station manager, Mossi Raz, is a Jew and a former member of the Knesset. My takeaway from the article is that Palestinians get significant material and other support from Jews, but not from those who currently form the majority in the Knesset.

So, yes, in the end I think it is useful to oppose the current government's policy in regard to the Palestinians while acknowledging that its actions are by no means representative of all Jews.

It goes back and forth endlessly, and everybody ends up ignoring the point of the OP...

I have tried for ages to show Gawd that the way he posts about "the Jews" totally stuffs up the often valid points that might be made about his various items of news about Israeli actions...

Sometimes I think he is a Mossad agent using reverse psychology... ;)

I think he's actually Sugarhitman from over at Talk Rational.
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

That's the nature of racists. I assume most people here are intelligent enough to know that.

We'll see. I notice he's getting obnoxious after being repeatedly checked with facts. You might not have been specific enough about what you're objecting to.

He actually tried with this one. He'd've succeeded, too, except he just had to put the "the J000zzzz" thing in again, and I was very, very careful about my criticism. Give it a chance.

If so he's mellowed out some.

Your points are invalid. Jews are not a race. And even if they were, it is still perfectly acceptable and expected to point out the Jews because they self-identify themselves as "Jews" in their discrimination and thievery. Ever hear of Jew stealing land from another Jew? No, you don't.

Ah, so you've acknowledged that Jews are not a race. Henceforth your claims of racism are a lie.

Fine, I'll use bigotry instead. It's six of one and half a dozen of the other.

As a matter of fact, it's even worse, on an atheist-oriented site; you're not even a racist, just another religionist displaying bigotry.

He notes behavior, and does not attribute it to "all Jews" or even "all Israelis."

You're still not getting it.
