It's obvious to me that you're a self-righteous, arrogant whiner with
delusions of persecution.
I imagine by now that Dan is wishing to hell he hadn't thrown in his
lot so readily with yours. You're no more sane on this subject than
those who bear prejudice against Jewish people.
I may be wrong, but --
I think that Dan and Zimmy know each other a lot better than you know
either of them, and that Dan was well aware of Zimmy's feelings on the
subject before he said anything, and also familiar with Zimmy's style
of argument.
That's entirely possible, but I don't think I'd describe what's been
spewing forth recently as "argument". It's a lot more like "Oy vey
schmeer, poor me, poor us, no one has any clue whatsoever and because
of my minority status I am free to both be as overbearing as I want to
*and* accuse anyone who doesn't agree with me totally of ignorance or
worse."
There is no way to win in this discussion. Even a slight questioning of
such a perspective is being insensitive; nothing short of total
disavowal of massive swaths of Western culture is acceptable; nothing
short of repudiation of a person's entire weltanschauung is to be
tolerated if there's even the merest hint of -- totally unsubstantiated
-- anti-semitism.
(Bemmzim, before you reply to the above, please bear in mind that just
because you say something is anti-semitic DOES NOT MEAN THAT IT IS. And
I'll thank you to stop making assumptions about how well I know
history.)
So I don't think Dan is going to confirm what you said above.
That's also possible, and I think it's rather sad. I would not
personally wish to align with anyone so committed to seeing evil all
around him.
