    That said I guarantee I know more Jews than you do and not one of them would accuse you of being Antisemitic for criticizing the ridiculous actions of Israel since Rabin died. Hell the majority of Jews I know support a two or three State solution.

    Criticism of Israel /= Antisemitism. Sometimes the reasoning behind it is rooted in it but that isn't always on the person criticizing.

      The Neocons used to call any Jew who opposed their Gulf Adventure "self-hating." Didn't seem to matter at all whether the perp was goy or not.

        Anyways Cusack wade a moronic move but overall he is definitely on the right side if you know his politics.

          I didn't say you were Antisemitic. I said you'd be accused. And since you're Jewish, as Kepler said, you'd be called a self-hating Jew. I am friends with a diehard Jew and ANY criticism and he immediately brands you as Antisemitic. I made the mistake of saying I have heard all I want to about Israel/Palestine and was branded. I wasn't even critical, I explained that I was a delegate at the 2004 Convention and we never got through our platform because the I/P issue was debated for two days before someone pointed out almost everyone had left and we no longer had a quorum. As if anyone cares what we said on the issue. He is very anti-Trump but thrilled that he moved the embassy and totally on board with them naming a settlement in his honor. He's ****ing delusional.

            Yeah go back and read what I said. I criticize Israel all the time and I never get called that. (never once, not even as a joke) Maybe go back and read what Kepler said too because his post isnt about Jews calling each other self hating it is about neocons calling Jews self hating. Jews dont tend to be neocons, we tend to be liberals outside of the Netanyahoos who are war-mongers. (and usually Orthodox) But please, keep telling me how your anecdotal evidence from your one hardcore Jewish friend somehow overshadows the literal thousands of interactions I have with Jews every year (ranging from Orthodox to Reform to Reconstructionist...also ranging from those that live/have lived there to those who couldnt find it on a map) cause that is pretty funny

            Are there some Jews that take criticism that way...sure. It is not the majority of Jews especially in America. Even in Israel it isnt as high as you might think despite what the media and certain politicians tell you.

            Now can we drop this BS and get back to movies please...

              A young 20 something colleague is heading to new Hampshire for the weekend, so I told him about how I made sure to spend a weekend at lake winnepasaukee. His face showed no recognition. He’s never seen what about bob. Tragic

                  True, but we started making jokes about the movie and saying quotes and he was still confused. I should have worded it better.

                  Also we’re now back into movies and off the israel talk!

                    It isn't anecdotal evidence from one friend. Did you miss the part where dozens of people debated this issue at a state political party convention? But as I said, I'm sick of the issue so let's talk about Lake Winnipesaukee some more.

                      A CIA agent doing routine field work, after she left her "in the sh*" post after a bombing, is called back "into the sh*" when a terror threat is ID'd and realizes there's a compromised party within...

                      Formulaic, well told, but due to the formula of most spy movies, you can ID the threat/traitor right away. It's a time-killer.

                          I thought that was the resort lake at the end of the Blues Brothers.
