“Some of My Best Friends are Jewish”
February 07, 2005 | Aussie Dave | Comments
Remember Angry White Kid (AWK)? After I posted about him, he took exception to one of the commenters implying he was anti-Semitic:
To DovBear, point out any anti-Jewish thing I have on my blog. My own roomate is Jewish. If I were some raving racist, do you think he’d live with me? Half the people I do Israel/Palestine activism with are Jewish. As you should know, being critical of Israeli policies does not make one anti-Jewish. Nice try, though.
I myself did not label him anti-Semitic. But I am beginning to wonder…Here is AWK’s introduction to his post about a man who threatened to burn down churches he believed to be anti-Semitic:
The Nearly-on-Fire Divestment from Israel UpdateNon-existent anti-Semitism, bad; burning down churches, good.
Denying the existence of anti-Semitism itself reeks of anti-Semitism.
