Rosie Di Manno is Confused
March 16th, 2010 | 
Author: I read a piece by Rosie DiManno in the March 15th Toronto Star, which, in essence, equated any criticism of The government of the State of Israel, or the Zionist movement, as anti-semitism. This in response to a recent conference equating Zionist dogma with Apartheid.
Rosie, for some reason, can’t understand the difference between Race/ Ethnicity, Religion, and Ideology, and espescially doesn’t understand that lumping the three together as one amorphous singularity, is truly anti-semitic.
So a few pointers on the off chance that Rosie ever goes slumming in Progressive Blogs.
1) Judaism is a religion.
2) Semitic is an Ethnicity or Race originating in the Middle East and including many nationalities including Arabs, and Israelis.
3) Zionism is a political Ideology, originating in the mid Nineteenth Century, originally advocating a homeland for European Jews in Palestine. Since the creation of the State of Israel after World War II, it has gradually morphed from liberal democratic ideology to one of the far right. An argument can be made that it entails many of the attributes of Fascism.
So Rosie, not all Jews are Zionist, and considering the rather vociferous support for Zionism among certain elements of the Conservative right in North America, I think it can also be stated that not all Zionists are Jews.
Also erroneous is labelling Hamas as an anti-semetic organization, as many, if not most of it’s members are themselves, semites.
Rosie, thus endeth the lesson. No charge.

Unfortunately, Di Manno ain’t alone…she’s in great company with See Sawah run, All the Harpercons, almost every Astral talk radio show host, etc…
I think Rosie is dumb enough to just be confused. Many of the others you mention are aware of what they are doing.
The term “antisemitic” has been used for the past 150 years in modern english lexicon to mean antijewish. Hamas is an organization that is viciously antisemitic (anitjewish) and so is Hizbullah. Both this organizations can be compared to the Nazis in Germany because their goals are the same: to eradicate Jews and the Jewish nation.
And many Jews, the more extreme religiously zionist ones (like most groups who practice any kind of religion to such extremity as to perverse their own teachings) that is, don’t recognize anyone outside of their sub-culture, including Jews who aren’t as religious or politically zealous as they are.
“Rosie, thus endeth the lesson. No charge.”
HA! Great article.
Susan, at least three members of avowed terrorist groups (Irgun and the Stern Gang) have gone on to become Prime Ministers of Israel. I guess in your books, Terrorists are OK as long as they are on your side?
Sorry “Susan”, but the world has retired the gibberish hate slur called “anti semitism”. You spent many words and were still unable to sufficiently explain it. Strange for someone who is so confident in its
legitimacy.
“anti jewish? In the context of Palestinian suffering – who cares. Is it not jewishness that has terrorized and tormented the Christian/Muslim population for 60 years? “anti Jewish”, therefore is
understandable depending on the circumstances.
The blacks of apartheid South Africa were extremely antiWhite.
It means nothing.
As Israeli Jewry attempted to wipe the Palestinians off the map,
it sought to buttress a party to offset the nationalist Palestinian groups. Israel funded Hamas…Live with it.
Hamas and Hizbullah also never existed before the zionist regime. Yet there were thousands of jews living in peace with Muslims for hundreds of years. The point? Hamas and Hizbullah are responses to radical Jewishness, contrary to MSM nonsense ande debunked quotes.
Hitler and the SS were lovers of Israel.

Therefore, ergo your logic, pro-Israel cells are pro Nazi.
By the by, Susan, I just clicked your name and it is linked to my site, any reason in particular for that? The only two names that should be linked to this site to date are The Left Hand and your’s truly. I know I didn’t get another contributor as of late.
