Palestinian supporters to Jews: "Go back to the oven." http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,477450,00.html
I just wanted to ask the liberal progressives among us whether this is an "understandable sentiment",
or whatever other euphamistic label(s) you personally choose to put on genocidal hatred.
Should I judge someone harshly for saying the above-quoted phrase to Jews,
or should I "find a way to understand where they're coming from"?
I know it's considered cool to hate Jews (also called "Israel", "Zionists", and other convenienly-political names meaning "Jews"),
but at what point, along the hate continuum, do your brains actually start to function, and you realize that, ya know, maybe there is such a thing as hating Jews too much? Where is the "sweet spot" -- that balanced, golden amount of anti-Semitism?
Put another way, what is the proper amount to hate Jews for being Jews? What do the latest political fads tell us about which level of Jew-hatred is acceptable, or "understandable", and which is perhaps "a bit much"?
Please, someone responding in this thread, be honest about your hatred and tell me why it's okay for Palestinians or their supporters to say to Jews: "Go back to the oven". I dare you, explain to me how this is defensible.
