We all have been continuously bombarded with words such as racist, bigot, and sexist well before and after November 20. Can the recent inaction of the US in regards to Israel be considered Anti-Semitism?

What else could five billion a year in aid to Israel and refusing to vote in support of the condemnation against Israeli settlements mean?

The President isn't anti-Semitic, anti-Israel, or even neutral when it comes to Israel... he simply isn't as rabidly pro-Israel as some conservatives.

Yes, of course they can. I do not think it really is, I think it is really a pro-Arab stance that ends up appearing anti-Semitic? I think too many people forget that Barack Obama Sr. was of Arab descent and not African in the views of his fellow Kenyans.

I cannot really disagree with your comment. Actions and results do not seem 'Pro' Israel or anything that I would consider important to the US but I also know I am biased?

I believe Kerry's statement, "If the choice is one state, Israel can either be Jewish or democratic. It cannot be both. And it won’t ever really be at peace." Who is he to say what Israel can be? I find his 90-minute rant quite weak and somewhat insulting to Jews.

ANY nation-state can be either <insert religion here> or democratic. It cannot be both. If a nation is <insert relgion of choice here> that means that religion has supremacy...which is not democratic as it pushes all other religions out of the way.

Wasn't America built upon democracy and Christianity? CW3 (Join to see) -

While America does have a plurality of Christians, it wasn't built on any one religion. Freedom of religion (which includes freedom from religion) was built into our Constitution.
