Israel to block Irish UN religion motion

[GePap]

The motion could be tied up in committee-after all, before something makes it to the whole body it has to go through committees.

The Israeli position is silly but understandable, at least from this government.

Anti-semitism = religious intolerance

Yeah, Hitler sent people who were 1/16 Jewish to Happy Happy Fun Fun camps. Meh. I would have doubly qualified.

Anti-Semitism is different from Religious Intolerance in that it is a common Jewish view that an atheist who meets the descent rules of Judaism remains Jewish.

All religious intolerance is bad. It's just that because Israel exists, anti-semitism is MUCH worse than other forms of religious intolerance.
We should doubly condemn it!

I tire of Israel constantly playing the "We were opressed during WW2!!!! Pay special attention to us!!!!".
But does it really surprise anyone?

While morally it's the wrong stance, politically it's the right one - I won't scratch your back if you won't scratch my back.

And the UN isn't a moral institution but a political one.

Morally wrong? So, in your view, Judaism is morally superior, and should be given precedence over all other religions?

Well dammit, I say Christianity should! This motion is anti-Christian!

Israel's stance not to support the resolution is what's morally wrong (but politically correct).

But don't let me stop you trying to assume things in the future.

I cannot understand why England is not also taking a firm stand against this dastardly and defamatory Irish propaganda proposal!

[lord of the mark]

could the motivation have been that antisemitism is on the rise this last couple of years, and that the UN has not taken note of this in any form?


Oh, no, its just the JOO's using Hitler to grab vast acres of land in the verdant Pal territories.

Largely because England couldn't give a ****.
