So your saying there is no anti-semetism in the arab world? or that it is only related to the Palestine-israel conflict? I could show you a plethora of evidence to the contrary
In 2005 in the "suthern states" jews and blacks have the same rights as anyone else.
The point is that at least 600 something Israeli soldiers, many of whom are the rank of Captain or Major, have signed that letter stating that this is what they have seen. Many of them have served in wars in defending Israel, as troops on the front line. Like it or not, which I suspect you don't like, the IDF has horrible human rights voilations, as these soldiers have also signed. That is what matters.
I never claimed that there isn't any anti-semitism in other Arab nations, or anywhere in the world. All kinds of people hate all kinds of people. White Anglo or Black Christain fundies hate Jews since they are 'Christ killers' (it's one of the oldest and worst slanders, Jews didn't kill Christ, the Roman Emperor did). The KKK hates jews, muslims, black people, etc. Some radical black panthers hate white people and so on, I was speaking to 2 representatives of the "Armenian Genocide" and both said "Fvck the Jews". Yes, i know the Irony. I told them that their representation of their movement is very ethno-centric, and a fight against Genocide should be against all forms of it.
