We should refrain from talking about Jews in any derogatory or inciteful manner as that is inherently anti-semitic and should be reserved for Klan meetings. We can talk about the relationship of American Jewry with Israel and lobbying efforts and what not, but let's avoid making any sort of hurtful comment (i.e. 2pac). Unfortunately there is a lot of misinformation being spread on here (i.e. Kerfuffle and coldhardfacts).
I am a little busy right now but I will make some more important insights and observations later on this week on this very subject. Let's not put this thread away just yet. It's important we continue to confront these isseus and focus our energies on educating one another on this critical topic. I know this can be a difficult topic to talk about but I admire the patience and courtesy that posters are showing on here (i.e. Thor4140).
Will be back later....

Buddy this is the game they play. The anti semi card or saying a person hates jews. It stifles debate and it turns it ugly. I say something and all the sudden my words are spun like im attacking the Jewish people. This game they use is old and tired but you have to defend yourself someway.
