Ditmas Park Blog Distant Relative Calls Our President, "anti-semite"
Read for yourself. Sure, it is a far off relative and we really shouldn't hold people responsible for their relatives actions but you have to wonder what the rest of the family must really think. This also jives well with the issue of power and police corruption in our own neighborhoods.

"distant relative"? huh? what does this have to do with police corruption? Please enlighten me.
ReplyDeleteWow. Just wow. I had no interest in adding to any of the drivel that flows through these comment sections. However, you have struck a cord and your, yes your anti-Semitic comments, while light and ill-informed at first, have become not only hateful but baffling.
ReplyDeleteLet me make sure I understand your post. You have linked Haaretz.com, an online version of Israel's Haaretz newpaper which is printed and distributed in Israel, with ditmasparkblog, written locally here in Brooklyn without any proof, sources or even condescending hearsay. Right? Please, if I am mistaken, correct me.
Not only is this post embarrassing for your credibility and insulting to both DPB and Haaretz, but it hints at a deeper and far scarier issue at hand Eloise; a willingness to suspend logic to support your ideological claims.
You found "evidence" in an attempt to slander an unrelated enemy. This is extremely dangerous behavior, verging on psychotic. How far are you willing to go to incite violence?
I am not going to address the third sentence regarding police corruption as it is too absurd to comment on.
It's April 1st. I imagine you'll never read this post. "Always forwards, never backwards" as I say. But if you do, one day in your search for more "evidence" to churn into hateful rhetoric, please remember that you pissed someone off today and you embarrassed and discredited yourself.
You delight in telling us you don't back down. Well, I'm a Jew, we've been around for 4000 years, always the minority (!!), we're still here, and most of us have learned to deal with our neighbors. Can't you?
Hi there!
ReplyDeletePlease read the footer of posts as I am the one who posted this not Bev. I am not anti-semitic. That term gets thrown around a lot by people who point out when Israel is doing wrong which it does. Calling our President Anti-Semitic because he wants you stop building settlements in order to advance peace is just foul. You know it and I know it. I have been called anti-semitic before because I have questioned giving $3 billion a year to Israel when they refuse to cooperate in reaching a peace agreement.
If that makes me anti-semitic, so be it.
And since when did being a Jew constitute a minority? What institutional racism where you subjected to that still has a lingering affect on your people presently?
ReplyDelete@Tina: The holocaust comes to mind…
ReplyDeleteTina, thank you for taking the time to address my response.
ReplyDeleteI made no comments on the actual claims Haaretz newspaper purported. I merely called to attention the lack of any evidence used to support your claim that they are related to DPB. You're failure to understand this aggregious accusation is what troubles me.
Had Eloise (I understand you were not an active contributer to this blog at the time of this post) simply posted a link to the Israeli newspaper and said her opinion on the article, I would have responded with my position on the topic. However, she did not comment on the actual article itself whatsoever. Instead Eloise made a giant leap in ignorance by directing her anger at an already formed enemy.
As to your comment on Jews being a minority, it would be a good idea to open your mind to accept that other people are also minorities and targetted as such.
To end, I find it hilarious if not horrifying that you end one post saying "if that makes me anti-semitic, so be it" and add in the next post, one mere minute later, with "what institutional racism were you subjected to that still has a lingering affect on your people presently?" Should you argue that you're not an instition, but merely an anonymous internet voice, then i ask you what trouble do you have with Ditmasparkblog, also clearly not an institution?
Again, thank you for addressing my post. It is only through this that we may begin to accept each other as neighbors. I'm more than willing at any time to sit down and talk about this. I am just as passionate as you are.
