Criticism of the State of Israel is not a criticism of Judaism. Most Jews are as keen on human rights as anyone.

I think we have a communications breakdown here....
I think Kim is agreeing with you, @absinthe, he isn't being anti-semetic or condoning the killing of Palestinian children, just stating there seems to be no point in the Jews and Palestinians killing each other in petty revenge attacks which just escalate the situation. Hope I've interpreted correctly
Anyways, I'm getting off topic here, sorry!

Sammy, why use the word "Jew" when you ought to use "Israeli"? Are you trying to promote anti-Semitism?

eh? where did that come from?
This is starting to get as odd as that 9/11 conspiracy theory thread!
You seem to be wanting to see racism somewhere so you can get all morally justified on me/us/whoever. I am not in any way racist, and I don't think Kim is either. It is a poor choice of words, nothing more than that, nothing less.

It's an INCORRECT and RACIST choice of words that you and Kim seem to insist on using. I'm merely wondering what your agenda is by CONTINUALLY making this out to be a Jewish issue.

Hmmm, I'm getting a little offended you still seem to think I'm a racist. I also find it rather amusing at that same time that you're taking my mistake as something more sinister. You strike me as someone who takes himself far too seriously.
Please, stop taking simple mistakes and interpreting it as something more. I guess this is how fights and possibly wars start, where someone's choice of words, although innapropriate or a mistake, is misconstrued. I am NOT a racist (I will say it again), but I am also NOT politically correct, I find that almost as offensive as racism.
Now, we are miles off topic here, shall we get back on topic before Masseur comes along and bangs our heads together?

I don't see how combating your racism, however "unintentional" it might be, is "politically correct". My on-topic point to Kim was that as he is horrified by the murder of innocent children (and who isn't?), he might want to write to his senator and ask why his Government gives Israel USD5 billion a year while it continues to murder Palestinian children. Note: no mention of Jews.

Perhaps I should just say what YOU WANT TO HEAR ME say:
"I am a complete racist, I hate everyone who isn't blonde, blue eyed, and who supports a Premiership football team. I have a shrine to nazis, and goose-step around town on weekends wearing my little stick-on hitler moustache and jackboots preaching my message of hate".
There you go. Now you can get all morally justified and tell everyone how evil I am
Anything else you would care to accuse me of being (apart from having and odd sense of humour)?
btw, I am only joking, of course
, I am not a racist (I shall say it yet AGAIN) Why is it in human nature to always try to see the worst in a situation? Is it so they can feel justified in having a go at them, etc etc. Why can't people see mistakes as just that, mistakes or misuse of words? This really is like that consipracy theory thread, Absinthebri here is reading into my putting of the word 'Jew' instead of 'Israeli' as evidence of me being some kind of racist, just like these conspiracy theorists see fuzzy pictures as evidence that the CIA was behind 9/11.
Edit: My apologies, @whizkidd for threadjacking here, I have to defend myself against accusations of racism, sorry mate
