They're all freaking out about "anti-semitism" and such bull shit such as that. I'm gonna post a long comment that should equate to a verbal smackdown but you might what to check it out yourself.

Aaron's comment has nothing to do with the state of human rights in Israel or its lack of support for democracy in the region.<BR/><BR/>If Israel goes to war, it's an agent of US imperialism. If it doesn't and tries to accommodate itself with its neighbours it actively supports the dictatorial regimes of the Middle-East in their fight against human rights and the workers struggle... and ultimately US.<BR/>How convenient!Arnaudhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01981811952772848574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035822700171976600.post-13539205841185372482008-07-14T12:24:00.000+03:002008-07-14T12:24:00.000+03:00Jack, it was really interesting and informative as...Jack, it was really interesting and informative as u said, but don't worry, first: u can read the talks and hear them on the Socialist Worker web, second, it's an annual festival, if u couldn't participate this year, u will next year!<BR/>cheers<BR/><BR/>as for u aaron; Israel has no better report on the level of Human Rights abuses, so why do u feel shocked? Human Rights violations nver were an obstacle in front of the "friendly" relations between the US and SA. Plus, the indirect negotiations for peace between Israel and Syria, are not about democracy in Syria and the attempts on political opponents etc...US and Israel will never support democratic regimes around them, because democracy means the voice of people, and u know people in the MEA do not welcome the occupying state of Israel! the biggest fear of Israel is Democracy and that's why, yes...somehow the examples u mentioned are Israel's fault!<BR/>cheersFarfahinnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05352636733799944133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035822700171976600.post-49254098665998608212008-07-14T04:46:00.000+03:002008-07-14T04:46:00.000+03:00So Saudi Arabia discriminating against women and I...So Saudi Arabia discriminating against women and Iran killing queer youth is *Israel's* fault?<BR/><BR/>This is one of the most offensive things I've ever seen.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1035822700171976600.post-86085492423950233362008-07-14T02:34:00.000+03:002008-07-14T02:34:00.000+03:00Wish I could have been there.
