Anyone who attacks(or criticizes) Israel(or anything Jewish for that matter) is viciously attacked and labeled an anti-semite, mentally ill, racist, supremacist, Nazi, hatemonger, intolerant, and other slanders. At least in most media outlets this is how many are cast who attempt to speak out. Even the Dems who are calling for troop withdrawal will not dare to suggest not fully supporting Israel.
One Jew put it together quite simply......"You must always portray us as being constantly weak and vulnerable with the need for protection......say anything against us, and we will destroy you." Many Jews use the Holocaust and the fact that they are surrounded by so-called hostile nations hellbent on utterly destroying them to a highly successful degree. All this despite Jews(primarily of the secular sort, not necessarily Zionists) controlling and heading up nearly all of the West's media outlets, government positions, and powerful lobbying groups.
To Berzerker: the people are conditioned....brainwash ed....conditioned to react to certain things said instead of rationally viewing them objectively and logically. Some of us, like you, laugh at the sheer lunacy and stupidity of what went on in the Paula Zahn broadcast. But I believe there are far more that didn't even see what we saw and grasped on to the concept that this person was indeed a mentally ill anti-semite. Awesome, this person warranted TWO labels at once!!!
Small story to put this in perspective. I watched Borat when it first came out. I saw it at the packed Muvico 24 in Ft. Lauderdale. Two scenes made the collective audience gasp(whether it be in shock, horror, or a realization, I don't know)...the first being the depiction of two large-nosed dummies in the "Running of the Jews" chasing a dollar down the road. The other being suggested that the Jews are responsible for 9/11. I'd put a lot of money that had another country or race had been depicted to a popular stereotype, very few if any gasps would have been heard that day. I watched the movie on opening day because I knew what it was actually about and I wanted to read the audience....and of course, in the end, I wasn't very surprised.
