Israel Is Bad for The Jews, Part 2

Message Danny Schechter

As a graduate of a Jewish School, albeit not a religious one, who took pride in his culture and identity, I am a pronounced a "Jew hater," an anti-Semite, and, to boot, an ignoramus, even an enemy!

Oh, yes, also, as one respondent told me, I am as bad as HAMMAS (misspelled!)

My article appeared on several sites including The JewishReporter.com. I was told that many of the site's supporters demanded I be silenced, and my article be taken down, I guess as heresy.

(It's too bad the "Scarlet Letter" is not in vogue anymore even if Jews know all too well the way how our ancestors were forced to wear stars of David and later concentration camp numbers. It didn't matter what you thought, it was who you were.)

Dr. Avi Perry, a technologist who appears on PalTalk shot off a "Dear Danny" letter to me to share his wounded feelings:

"I have known you as a far-leftist who bashes Israel at every opportunity, but your recent article, titled: "Israel Gives Jews A Bad Name" exposed your own ingrained Jew-hating tendencies".

"Your article and your assertions are wreaked with the same blind spots that every antisemite and every Jew-hater embraces inside their souls.

"Calling Israel an apartheid state is an insult to the word -- apartheid. Did South Africa afford voting rights to its black residents? Did the true apartheid regime have a black resident on their Supreme Court? Did they have blacks (who preached white genocide) as members of Parliament? Did white folks in apartheid South Africa work for black supervisors? Did black doctors work in white hospitals, treating white folks as well? There are hundreds more examples of how prejudiced you are. You clearly don't know what you are talking about.
