How much of the 'only whites are racist' apologism stems from the western world's ignorance of world languages? The wide spread nature of the English language means practically even nation on Earth is sensitive to the mildest slight by a westerner. How much do we know of the Indian's abject hatred of the Pakistani? The Chinese hatred of the Nippon? The Turkish hatred of the Armenian? I could be fluent in 100 dialects of provincial Arabic; i still wouldn't be able to prove how tolerant Australians are compared to, say, the Jordanese. Especially to apparatchiks like Bwian and Pecker.

I don't recall ever seeing that happen though. Normally it is some nonsense about them owning the media, or why it was a righteous act to slaughter them to establish an Islamic State.

In what other way can you be critical of "Jew" if it is not ideology? Isn't ideology the very DNA of what makes one a Jew?

People identify as Jewish for different reasons - religious, ethnic, racial. Few religions are like this. For some it is little different to self-identifying as Scottish. Most people who rant about Jews don't care about the distinction.

Who would know what 'we've been over before,' given the scatter gun question time, quote bombing which goes on here.

How do you identify Jews, freediver. I'm not asking people, I'm asking you.
