That is poetic but you know the one about a sow’s ear. Maybe he has grown up and should have the benefit of some doubt.

Sigh. I though I had answered that already. Because this is a thread about inappropriate comparisons to Nazis and more generally about propriety of the Guardian’s behaviour in respect to the debates it hosts on Israel. I have no interest in getting into a debate about the rights and wrongs of the Israel/Palestine, for reasons I have already made abundantly clear.

It is possible that the Adriane comments above are not from Adriane. Perhaps the site monitors will have a look.

It looks like you may need to have a permanent “Today’s Nazi Analogies” corner for your web site – there seem to be fresh examples daily.

If anyone sees posts that would warrant such a coveted prize, please email a copy of the post to contactus@cifwatch.com or post on one of the applicable threads.

Accepting Jews as racists – no problem on CIF:

I enjoyed Sabraguy’s macho posturing. Appropriate for the day on which the last episode of “The Wire” is being broadcast in the UK. Street -corner stuff.

“Liars of Araby”? This thread is-against all the odds- turning into comic cuts.

Anything I suppose to stops us revealing the essential racism of Morris’s article.

Dear Guardian moderators

Equating Zionism with Nazism, as in the above post by Nehruvian
11 Sep 09, 9:32am (about 1 hour ago)

“the sentiment for Israel’s establishment was a product of a similar project in Europe.”

is considered hate speech by EU law and should be removed if the Guardian doesn’t want to face a law suit.
Since my abuse report didn’t convince you, I will write this until you do remove it.

The demonization of Israel will not go down without a fight.

Well said FMO – mods, why have you not removed Nehruvian’s post? Why do you keep giving space to individuals who breach EU race laws?

Nehruivan

Ironically, the sentiment for Israel’s establishment was a product of a similar project in Europe.

What a disgusting comment. You can make your veiled insults, and your sly Nazi allusions, but you have forgotten the Jews aren’t a powerless dispossessed diaspora any more. Since the establishment of Eretz Israel, they no longer need to give a toss about people like you. I certainly don’t.

So why are you here?

And I have certainly seen posts far more hostile to Muslims allow to stand on other CIF forums.
