In Reply to: the definition of anti-semitism is prejudice against or hostility towards Jews. SM - Lu
You are welcome to adopt a narrow and prejudicial definition of the word. Be my guest. You are not entitle to apply that concept where it does not belong in an effort to discredit a post which clearly is not anti-Semitic. At the same time, I also am entitled to have my own world view and adopt my own broader sense of the concept of anti-Semitic. I think of Semites as a people whose ancestors evolved from the same language group, the Jews and Arabs BOTH being from that group.
I just explained to you in no uncertain terms that the sentiments expressed on this forum ARE NOT and NEVER HAVE BEEN directed at the Jewish people in a radially prejudicial contest. It is the racism that underpins the beliefs of Zionism that we rale against. You can say it ain't so, but that won't change the facts. It is POLITICIZED Jewish nationalism that is at issue here, not the Jewish people or their RELIGIOUS beliefs.

Why are you so determined
What part of I am no interested in what you have to say do you not get? I directed my comments to the original post about whites being in a minority by 2042. I then made the mistake of responding to your attempt to educate me on the meaning of the word "trends," and to your characterization of illegal invasion. I used Mexico as an example of one of many developing countries whose populations enter the US. My exact words were "legally and illegally." It seemed like a logical choice since they constitute the largest group of non-whites in the US and they are the major driving force behind this trend. I related birth rates and demographics to the subject at hand…population trends. I then took the white minority issue and placed it into an international/global context and made offered a few comments about how I view this trend. Hello. I was talking about population trends.
In your reply you tried to direct the discussion into the illegal arena. I read down to the place where it got to be "liberals" this and "liberals" that, how I missed the point (that would be your point, not mine….I was only trying to talk about population trends), cultural invasion (yawn), how biased I am, remarking how "people" use somebody else's articles because they can't think for themselves (which I took personally, since it was not true on any level whatsoever with regard to my comments) and accusing me of "being for" illegal aliens (drawing conclusions and putting words in my mouth). Then I got to the part where you started telling us how American you are, told me to go "do" my history (I'm surprised you didn’t tell me to go stand in the corner while you were at it), and teaching me about illegal criminals, how illegal children are responsible for all kinds of diseases in schools, telling me who I need to go talk to, another liberal slam, and the parting shot of how I need to go to Mexico. Evidently I touched off some sort of nerve when I tried to talk about POPULATION TRENDS.
Okay. This looked like a big boat load of negative energy to me. In my reply, I tried to point out to you that illegal immigration was your subject, not mine. I reiterated that my interest is in population trends (do you get that by now?) and that I am not interested in dragging myself down into this negative place with you. I am not part of Lou Dobbs cult. Nothing you can say will convince me that I should re-examine my values. I am at peace with this issue and I intend to stay that way.
Here you are again, trying to whup up. I am a white natural-born citizen with no bones to pick and no axes to grind. That is your territory. I am not interested in all this turmoil. Got it?
I have determined that liberals are the biggest

if you are determined to save all children
You have a moral obligation to end this war and to bring them home, and as veterans you have a moral obligation to financially support and care for them and their children for the rest of their lives.
You are so determined to make us the bad guys.
