Posted in: The return of anti-Semitism

I agree with Weisbard that anti-Arab and Islamophobia is far more widespread than anti-semitism. If the last decade has proved anything, then it is that the more paranoid a religious group becomes, the more dangerous it becomes. Perhaps both Jews and Muslims should try to stand back from their immediate defensive rhetoric for a change and examine the reasons why there is growing resentment.
Posted in: Arab-American group blasts Emanuel's dad

I find it truly heartening and magnanimous that the ADC wrote a letter to Emanuel asking him to repudiate his father’s comments. True justice does not discriminate, nor should there be double standards. "Do the normal standards of decency and civility not apply when talking about Arabs?" It would be equally nice if we could be allowed to hear those noble Israeli voices that say the same thing. But then they’d be accused of being anti-Semitic!
