Canada

No need to argue. It's antisemitic.

Do you know how common it is for racists to say "I'm not racist you're being racist"?

We've had to pass laws to prevent the "free Palestine" crowd from harassing Canadian Jews at synagogues. If that crowd had their way, Jews would not be welcome in Canada even if they were born here.

You want to pretend you're not a part of an antisemitic movement so much that you turn a blind eye to the rampant antisemitism embedded within it. These calls for refusing Israelis entry into Canada is from that part of your movement.

Please try to make sure your arguments are based on facts and not your logical falacies.

Back at you. Have these soldiers been caught on camera doing anything illegal? Our society is base on the ideal of innocent until proven guilty. The call is for Israelis to be assumed guilty until proven innocent. We don't treat people from other countries that way.

Would you think it's acceptable to treat people coming from Sudan this way? Why not?

It's obvious to anyone outside your little bubble the discrepancies between how you want Israelis treated and how you want people from other countries treated is because of ethnicity. You want a racist immigration policies, but have rationalized in your mind why that's acceptable. The same rationalizations that all racists use.

So only "the good ones" are allowed?

This is typical of the way racists think,.

There wouldn't need to be a Jewish state if Jews were guaranteed entry into Canada and safety while here.

Right now there are calls to ban Jews from entry into Canada.

It's not because of people like me there needs to be a Jewish state. It's because of people like you.

Please read the story of the the MS St. Louis... the Voyage of the Damned.

Canada was one of the countries that refused to allow Jews to enter the country. Now people want us to be that way again. That's the reason why a Jewish state has to exist.

History doesn't repeat, but it sure does rhyme. It's a sad state of affairs that the younger generation is falling for the same antisemitic bullshit people fell for a hundred years ago, but here we are.

I wish we lived in a world where a Jewish state isn't necessary, but it's necessary because of people rationalizing why it's a good thing to refuse Jews entry into the country. There needs to be at least one country in the world that won't refuse Jews entry. The only guarantee that there will be at least one country in the world that won't refuse the entry of Jews in times of antisemitism (In case you didn't notice, we're in one of those times right now) is if there's a Jewish state.

Yes it's embarrassing to humanity that we can't shake the whole antisemitism thing which necessitates a Jewish state. But humanity sucks and it's the only way for it to be guaranteed there is a safe place for Jews in times like this is for there to be a Jewish state.

There is no proof that the Israelis in the article committed war crimes.

So you've already crossed a line by assuming all soldiers in the IDF are war criminals, and since military service is compulsory in Israel, pretty much all Israelis have served in the IDF at some time in their lives. So you've rationalized that all Israelis are war criminals, so that's 30% of all Jews are war criminals.

Maybe in your little bubble these rationalizations about 30% of all Jews being war criminals is somehow distinguishable from antisemitism. But in the real world, making rationalizations about Jews being evil is called antisemitism.
