PC friday question of the day.

[Yehuda57]

Sorry for not waiting until Friday but this one just could not wait.
Is this what Jews believe?

We've been through this 1,000,000 times. Taking a comment or action of one Jew and asking if every Jew thinks or acts that way is racist. It's racist if I do that for black, Muslim or Catholic people, and it's racist for someone to do it about Jews.

You have a question about Judaism? Theology? Ideology? Knock yourself out! You'll get 100 opinions, but enjoy. Politics, personal beliefs, and the like? We're individual people with all manner of idiosyncrasies, different social, familial and economic backgrounds, we come from every corner of the planet. Each of us is a human person.

Actually it would be racist if I said all Jews felt that way.
I was told by several that most on this forum (Jews) don't own a TV. I asked in another thread if they owned a TV. Is that racist? If I started a poll as one suggested would that be a racist poll?

I don't.

But - in a Venn diagram showing trum haters and jew haters, there is going to be significant overlap.

I understood it to mean this

I feel like you're talking past each other here. Do you not agree that there is a significant portion of Trump's opposition that will turn on anything he supports/is associated with? That's precisely what his original comment said in context - that articles such as the one in OP potentially cause Trump haters to turn their ire towards Orthodox Jews.

Of course there is a portion of Trump haters that will hate anyone (no matter religion or race) because they support Trump.
Look at the context of all his posts directed at me and it goes way further than that.

but would add on to what you wrote that it will cause some of the anti-Trump crowd to hate all Jews since "they are a bunch of Trump supporters". My understanding in the context in which he wrote it was that the retweet was a bad thing because it will cause this to happen.

No, it's not a racist poll to ask how many individual human beings in this forum own a TV.
You didn't poll us on what we each believe, you asked "is this what *Jews* believe?"

I once heard someone say, words matter.

So let me get this straight. If I start a poll if Trump hate = Jew hate I would not be accused of racism?

Ok lets play this game and pretend 90%+ members here are not Jewish. Whats "your" answer? I changed the question. 

Sorry for not waiting until Friday but this one just could not wait.
Is this what "YOU" believe?

Trump hater now=Jew hater

[Yehuda57]

That statement on its own? No, I don't believe that.
That statement in context and what I think OP meant? Is have to look at it again.

[davidrotts63]

It is a simple questions other members can answer for themselves. Your post speaks for it self. Lets let others answer now.

No. Answer up for yourself, and stop twisting things.

Fair enough.

I just read this in context and I believe your post was unfair. My understanding is that the ami article CAN (NOT WILL) lead to some making that equation.

Also I had my own Friday question, not as spicy but I believe can be a good discussion.

Why isn't TLV an Intl hub like IST, and should it be?

[Dan]

Why isn't TLV an Intl hub like IST, and should it be?

Poorly run airline. Of course it should be.

[CountValentine]

I agree with you 100% but since when does "=" mean "CAN"?
If I say Jew=Cheap does that mean "can"?

[ExGingi]

Why isn't TLV an Intl hub like IST, and should it be?

Are you serious?   

TLV can barely handle it's own O/D traffic.

Major international hubs like DXB, AUH, DOH and IST got to where they are due to governments actively pursuing that goal, with a government (at least partially) owned carrier.

[aygart]

I agree with you 100% but since when does "=" mean "CAN"?
If I say Jew=Cheap does that mean "can"?

Once you include context and regular english things are different.

Context man, context. You're being stubborn now.

[CountValentine]

You can twist some things but in the real world "=" means equal.

and it's not like they never tried. In the early 2000's they had a fare called ElAL and Beyond that encouraged stops in TLV,
We flew a few times NYC- JNB with stops in TLV
Wish they'd bring it back
