Suits me. I feel like I've been debating at a 3rd grade reading level anyways.

The only thing I've really learned from this exchange is that you like quoting Martin Luther King out of context, and seem highly racist towards Arabs and disparaging towards other Jews that critique Zionism and condemn the military assault on Gaza.

Zionism is not Judaism. a Zionist does not speak for all Jews, simply because they believe in Zionism. Condemning or criticizing the policies of the state of Israel (and those who back it) is not 'publicly condemning Jews only'. I've been highly critical of my own country (USA) as well in this exchange, and the role it's policies have had in contributing to the suffering of the people in the Middle East. But I guess that doesn't count... I've only been 'condemning Jews' according to you.

The fact that you've resorted to this tired tactic as a way of ending the conversation leads me to believe you actually don't have any good defenses of Zionism, except blaming Arabs for all the world's woes, and accusing people who don't embrace it (including other Jews) of anti-Semitism.
