You keep using that phrase "anti-Semitic," Ezra ...


Canada's Official Ombudsman of Everything Jewy just can't shut the fuck up:

What is the definition of anti-Semitism?

I'll take a crack at that, Ezra. What if I snidely referred to a mythical place called "Jewville?" Or derisively dismissed an entire demographic as "Canada's Official Jews?" Would that get me in a boatload of trouble?

I'm guessing not
. But I've been wrong before.

So... Israel has the right then to bomb C.U.P.E.?

Are we all anti-semites now? A good comment from Matthew Yglesias.

And Tony Greenstein who regularly chastises Gilad Atzmon for being an anti-semite (and gets chastised in return) is certainly an anti-semite himself after having written this, I guess. This is getting to be a really crazy mixed-up world!

A couple of days ago, I came upon this page. Food for thought indeed.

Shorter Ezra Levant: The Meir Kahane Fan Club that runs Israel farts magic pixie dust and ponies and anyone who says otherwise is an anti-Semite!

Israel has been governed by coalition governments pretty much every time it has an election.

But the right wingers consider coalition governments treasonous, by calling it a "coup". Even though this is Israel's usual form of government.

Why are the right wingers anti-Semitic?
