It's not a surprise that criticism of Israel and Zionism receives so much resistance. This is how it has always been. Whether it's in politics (see politicians who have lost their jobs), to the media (see media personal who have lost their jobs) and now we're seeing it here, on the internet, which is the newest platform for people to share their ideas. Usually, any debate on the problems with Israel and Zionism is met with empty screams of anti-semitism and other personal attacks. There is always an urgency to shut down the debate. On this forum, there are three posts that have been locked due to the usual characters engaging in personal attacks which have led to shutting down debate. These three threads happen to be about Israel: Zionism's influence over Western politics Israeli War Crimes Why is criticizm of Israel considered Anti-semitism? From the previous thread: This control is certainly true when it comes to the U.S. There are countless Israeli/Zionist lobby groups and agenda driven, so-called think tanks, backed by billionaires (Like Sheldon Adelson and Haim Saban) who are using their billions to control who gets to be a politician and what kind of ideas are acceptable to be discussed when it comes to foreign policy. The phenomenon now gathering around Bernie Sanders is much deeper and much wider and it has reached a critical mass that can no longer be purchased, silenced, intimidated, or corrupted by rich Zionists like Haim Saban or certified idiots like George Clooney --this grassroots foundation of a far more progressive politics informs the BDS movement and there is very little that Hillary Clinton, Haim Saban, or the New York Times can do to change that demographic fact in order to sustain in power the racist apartheid settler colony of Israel and enable it to continue to steal the rest of Palestine, murder more Palestinians, and systematically destabilize the Arab and Muslim world -- To learn how the Israeli lobby and Haim Saban in particular are ganging up against Congresswoman Edwards go here: mondoweiss.net/2016/04/donna-edwardss-campaign-unsettles-the-israel-lobby-inside-the-democratic-party/ To learn more specifically about Haim Saban's determination to defeat Congresswoman Edwards go here: https://theintercept...nd-senate-race/ To learn more about Congresswoman Edwards' own extraordinary story go here: http://www.thenation...to-change-that/
