about you? When there is something that makes Israel looks bad, I NEVER NEVER NEVER see you questioning the source. But the other way around? You ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS question the source. Just go to the linked facebook pages and look for yourself. What's wrong? Afraid to find out UN Watch is absolutely right? This is hardly the first time this group has engaged in antisemitism - you FINALLY had to admit last week or so that UN Watch had the story EXACTLY right regarding this group (again after whining about the source and being forced to check out the situation yourself). If you're trying to make people think you're a fair arbiter of the I/P situation, you're failing miserably.

The message from that cartoon is Jews are bloodthirsty. shira Sep 2015 #29

I think the cartoon is saying Israel and the US are bloodthristy. nt ZombieHorde Sep 2015 #37

But associating a Jewish symbol with drinking a child's blood is a traditional antisemitic trope oberliner Sep 2015 #44

The blood libel didn't involve drinking blood though. ZombieHorde Sep 2015 #47
