"I don't get what the identifications of Blankfort and Mandel as Jewish are meant to convey. Does that excuse them from saying stupid shit?"

...that they are jewish should not excuse them from being or saying something stupid, but the first is a fact and the second an opinion...and there is a definite blind spot - often deaf and dumb as well - on the left when it comes to the israeli lobby and its power in the nation, in the government and in both wings of the ruling party, especially the dems...

criticism of this power, which is awesome and overwhelming, is labeled anti-semitic, anti-zionist or holocaust denial, when expressed by gentiles, and self-hating jewish psycho-ravings, when expressed by jews...very sad, very dumb, and very dangerous.
