Anti-Defamation League: 1 in 4 Adults is anti-Semitic
and out of those 25%, less than .1% actually know why.

[Duggrr]

I'm not anti-semitic, but i'm strongly anti-Israel. (I think people match these terms together however.)

[CeilingFan#1]

Why are you anti-Israel?

[RoseCity07]

I have never understood anti-semitism. Even as a child I never understood what made the jewish girl in my first grade class any different. Even after taking world religions in college I still don't really understand. The Jewish people started the religion which would eventually give rise to Christianity and Islam.

I doubt most people even realize that most if not all arabs are Semitic people.

[Derka]

Translation: "Everyone's paying attention to a senile old Jew's remarks about blacks and latinos, so let's remind them that people say mean stuff about Jews, too. Can't be letting all that Victimization Spotlight shine on without getting some of our own."

How can you be such an irrational moron in the NBA forum and then so much bettter here?

[IamRAMBO24]

This is another case of victimization. You can't even say anything bad about a Jewish person without being called anti-semitic. Heck you don't even have to say anything at all and they'll come up with some bullsh*t like 1 out of 4 people are anti-semitic.

[magic chiongson]

what's the % of muslims in the world population?

[fpliii]

I'm not Jewish so I can't comment all that much, but it was on the front page of CNN so I thought it was interesting. This is what it says of the methodology:


Nearly half have never heard of the Holocaust, and only a third believe historical descriptions are accurate, the survey found.

Carried out by First International Resources and commissioned by the Anti-Defamation League, the survey included 53,100 adults in 102 countries representing 88% of the world's adult population.

In native languages, it asked people whether certain traditionally anti-Semitic statements are probably true or false, including that Jews have too much power over international markets, global media, and the U.S. government; that they "don't care about what happens to anyone but their own kind," and that "Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars."

I wonder if they released the complete list of statements?

Unfortunately this. I'm all for human rights and equality but it seems in our Liberal and Progressive society everyone is trying to play the victim card and acting as they are getting discriminated against. Gays, Transgenders, Atheists, Conservatives, Females, Jews, etc...

I wouldn't consider Jews to be discriminated against since they are probably the most successful ethnic group in the United States. We don't need to discuss their power in the Media, Finances, etc.

the point is, there's no good reason for the discrimination, but plenty of BS false reasons going back to PEZ and medieval times.

that's the difference.

lol, not saying we should revert back to medieval times. Just saying that everyone feels like they are getting discriminated against and who's that exactly? The white man?

I just think all these distractions are fabricated by the media and pushed by the extremely wealthy who control everything(ironically alot are jews lolol). People won't get pissed at them for controlling everything and making the world their play ground if they believe the person next to them hates them because of their skin color, religious belief, sexual preference, etc.

well, if i have time later on and feel like wasting most of it, i'll try to explain more fully for you.

blame the jews ruining the media

[BasedTom]

Oy vey! If you don't support Israel and give us money with no questions asked you must be a nazi! This is like another holocaust!


Jews are like .0001% of the population and hold a ridiculously disproportionate amount of power and influence. Of course they're distrusted.

Finally an informative, quality post from you

now that I make a good post rep is gone :cry: :oldlol:

Anti-semitism has a very loose definition nowadays, am I an anti-Semite if I disagree with Isreal's policies and how they act in the region?

[Lamar Doom]

Who wrote the article? Josh Levs? <snicker> Oh, okay. Who edited it, Reuben Friedman? Dropped a real mazel tov cocktail on us with those stats, he-bro.

[Big_Dogg]

I'm anti religion, so if that makes me an anti semite, so be it

Can we really believe the results of the survey. Can't believe people never heard of the Holocaust. Wouldn't be the first time people lied in a survey. Although most of the cases I've seen that happening is during polling surveys.

Compare the NFL to the NBA to see why people hate jews. Running the NBA and ruining it. Ads on jerseys, sleeved jerseys, rigged playoffs, the media circus with different situations, way too strong overreaction to that Sterling shit, etc.

So a post on anti-semitism brings out the anti-semites. You hate jewish people because NBA jerseys have sleeves. OK. Got it.

Let me guess when you failed decimals and percents, your math teacher was Jewish?

[DukeDelonte13]

I don't feel like there is as much anti-semitism in the US compared to Europe. I know and have met plenty of people that don't like blacks, hispanics, muslims, etc., but you don't find to many anti-semites running around.

It's because the bigots in this country can't tell them apart from other white people unless they're wearing hasidic garb and they're not smart enough to recognize a jewish name.

I don't "hate" any race but I do look at the overall impact each race has on society and compare the impact of each race to one another :confusedshrug: :confusedshrug: :confusedshrug:

Sorry Shlomo Shekelenbergenstein. There's no way a goyim like me can ever understand the struggles of the jewish community.

The reality is that the USA's media, politics, and culture is deeply influenced by Jewish interests. Whether or not you feel that this is a good or bad thing is up for debate. Personally I believe the Zionists are more than capable of fighting their own battles and promoting their tyranny around the world. They don't need American money or blood.

But they have it, so more power to them.

>Less than 1/3 believe historical descriptions of the holocaust are accurate.

I'm proud of adults today.

:applause:

[GimmeThat]

1 in 4 Adults feel as if they can't run away from Jewish influences.


So there's this story about how people came to realize that their stomach digest, and that instead of only eating food in large chunks, people started cutting them into smaller pieces to help their stomach digest.

I guess if you translate it into medical terms. It's like I have this one pill that contains all the requirments to clear your toxin. But then if you go out and take other pills, you can't blame me for any Over Dose reaction.

I wonder what the numbers would be for other races though?

blacks?
whites?

my guess is asians would be the least hated

[gigantes]

:facepalm

the jews are both an ethnicity and a religion... either, both, and at times neither. does anyone here understand that?

you can have zero semitic blood and be considered jewish simply because a distant ancestor once converted. you can have strong and direct lineage to the 12 tribes, born, raised and lived in the area your whole life, but the orthodox won't consider you jewish if your mother wasn't considered one.

if you don't understand what PEZ (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protocols_of_the_elders_of_zion) and the like are, then you don't understand the series of propaganda campaigns that took place against jews in modern times.


my take is-- people who are under the gun for centuries, even millennia, tend to either die out or go in to overdrive. i think this is what commonly happens to those who found solidarity in their religion / ethnicity.

jews are not just high-achievers in finance. as group they're very high achievers in science, the arts... you name it. sure, plenty of pushy assholes among the lot, but on the whole, high achievers IMO. and not because of some stupid-ass conspiracy cooked up by paranoid retards looking for cheap reasons to exercise their tribal genes.


for the record, i'm latino and cauc, but cultures and peoples interest me.

[Patrick Chewing]

We do know that Semitic people are not only Jews correct??? Arabs too. Don't be afraid to bash the Arabs.

[MavsSuperFan]

On the internet it is closer to 60%

[B-Easy8]

So people are anti-Semitic because they believe that the Jews control the media?

Statements like that is probably what fuels that 25%.

[FatComputerNerd]

Why are there threads like this on a Basketball forum?

I thought this was ISH, not stormdrain...
