Forum Overview :: Balance of Power :: I can smell that you're not Jewish

[quote name="Vested Id"]I mean TELL, I can tell you're not Jewish, because you're nervous about critiquing Israel. Noam Chomsky hasn't hesitated to call the actions genocidal, and Jonathan Rosenbaum, maybe the best film critic on earth, posted on his Twitter a petition condemning Israel for committing genocide in Gaza. Is there a pro-Israel bias in western media? That sounds a lot like antisemitism, but if it's true (or, pace Chomsky, the series of news filters between the facts and the public simply don't favor Arabs/people we aren't allied with) then maybe we all have a lack of imagination when it comes to understanding the situation between Israel and Palestine. Imagine a world where your border isn't administered by people who feel the need to "<a href="http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/25343-noam-chomsky-%7C-nightmare-in-gaza">mow the lawn</a>" every 19 months. <a href="http://www.foreignpolicy.com/articles/2014/08/04/how_to_fix_it_jimmy_carter_mary_robinson_israel_palestine_gaza_hamas">IMAGINE THIS WORLD.</a>[/quote]
