> Jeroen insisted that I reply, > http://groups.yahoo.com/group/brin-l/message/82847 so here it goes: I did not *insist* that you reply, I asked you a few questions. But feel free to correct me by quoting the part where I say "I insist you reply" or "I demand an answer". > 1) Anti-semitism = Racism. An anti-semite is by definition a racist. To stick with your definition of anti-Semite: an anti-Semite is someone who hates Jews. But, since I do not hate Jews, have repeatedly stated that I do not hate Jews, and have repeatedly stated that I do not have any reason to hate Jews, your accusation is (as usual) false. > 2) A true believer in IAAMOAC does not remain beholden to any > form of racism. I do not support racism in any way. I judge people by their actions, not their race. > 3) It is not a personal attack. Calling you a "jerk" is a personal > attack, as the word "jerk" serves no purpose other than insult. Let me guess: it would only be a personal attack if it were directed against *you*. > "Anti-Semite" on the other hand is my honest assessment of your > viewpoints based on your own unaplogetic statements. Yet, you have never been able to provide evidence for me hating Jews. The only thing you can come up with is equating criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism. Following your logic, anyone who criticises the US government must be hating Americans, and anyone who criticises European governments must be hating Europeans. You criticise Europe; does that mean that you hate Europeans? Heck, you criticise the entire international community! Following your logic, you must be hating the entire world (minus the US and Israel, that is)!
