I blame liberalism too. If you look at my posts, I bring up what I do when others are attacked. Don't feel like sitting back and hearing about how IBM and the Catholic Church aided and abetted the Holocaust without mentioning what the other side did. There is a thread right now that is typical. Our loyal ally Turkey is being trashed for what happened to Armenians 80 odd years ago. The reason for the trashing? One Turkish politician made one stupid comment about Israel. Rather than ignore the comment, Israel and many on FR are making a big deal of it. An incredibly stupid move as Turkey has been friendly to Israel and is the voice of separating church and state in the region.

Well I agree with a lot of what you say, but my opinion of you changed when on a different thread an elderly Jewish Freeper said that when he was younger he suffered because of anti-Semitism, you replied that he suffered nothing compared to the Christians under Kaganovitch (I think that is the name you used). Apparently Kaganovitch was a "Jewish" Communist.

The absurdity of such a comment was not lost on me. If someone were to say that Christians are discriminated against in the United States (and many Freepers, including myself, say this every day) and a Jewish person were to say that they suffered nothing compared to the Jews under Hitler. You and I would both call that person anti-Christian.

Everyone has a right to their opinion, and we certainly have anti-Evangelicals, anti-Catholics, and anti-Semites on FR. As long as people are honest with their opinions I usually tend to ignore them, I'm responding to you only because you claim to be pro-Israel.
