So where is the stereotype here, were they not Middle Eastern Christians?
Is it stereotypical to say that most of them are, just like Middle Eastern Muslims, not in favor of Israel's existence?

Whoa there...

Stereotyping IS the problem in the middle east.

You posted earlier you have been called anti-Semite. Most people don't realize that Arabs and, I believe Persians are Semites. There's one.

That Arabs hate Jews is another and it is not true that Jews hate Arabs or Palestinians, a local Synagogue sends doctors there.

No state has ever ruled perfectly and Israel is far from close to an exception. No war, no matter how just, is ever fought justly and the Israeli's have the bad grace to win all the time. I once interviewed a former high ranking Israeli minister, who said there would be peace, "of course" of people stopped challenging Israel's right to exist.

And in this world, "we were there first DOES count"...we give land back to First Nations..

I wasn't called an anti-Semite and I didn't post that I was called an anti-Semite.
You were referring to Montecresto's comment perhaps.

Arabs are Semites yet the term anti-Semite has become another word for Jew-hater due to the dark history of Europe.
As such it is a matter of semantics.

The rest of your comment I simply do not understand.

"Actually"..
The most memorable occasion of whether or not you were/Are antisemitic, was your 'Like' of perhaps Thee Most Anti-semitic post EVER made on DP:

and I said it then at the end of my post#4 in that short-lived string.
Yup, that was just 'Israel-criticism'.
So sorry about that FACT.

It seems there isn't much to fear.

The analysis shows that most people who agree with the religious right also support the Tea Party. But support for the Tea Party is not synonymous with support for the religious right. An August 2010 poll by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press and the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life found that nearly half of Tea Party supporters (46%) had not heard of or did not have an opinion about “the conservative Christian movement sometimes known as the religious right”; 42% said they agree with the conservative Christian movement and roughly one-in-ten (11%) said they disagree.3 More generally, the August poll found greater familiarity with and support for the Tea Party movement (86% of registered voters had heard at least a little about it at the time and 27% expressed agreement with it) than for the conservative Christian movement (64% had heard of it and 16% expressed support for it).

I'm not sure how that compares with the religious left but with Americans attitudes toward religion in general it doesn't seem to mean anything significant.

There's only one religion which should concern the world right now, and it's neither Jews or Christians.

But your posts were anti Semite so naturally you'll be called on it. That's just who you are and it shows.

Hardly a stereotype. Did you listen to the Middle Eastern Christians that Cruz spoke to? This isn't exactly rocket surgery. They jumped on him because he spoke in favor of Israel.

And you're a conservative. You know Grant, one can be critical of Israeli foreign policy and not be anti Semitic. Do you think that Jews are the only Semites in the world, lol?

Should your thanking of a post that flat out stated that any and all restrictions should be lifted in regards to murdering Jews to be considered "criticizing Israeli foreign policy", now?

What's next -- saying that all gays should be put to death and then trying to claim that you were only quibbling over some minor issues to do with gay marriage?

This is the oldest dodge in the world antisemites use to try to weasel out of any insinuation that they are, indeed, antisemitic.

As originally coined, the term "antisemitic" (and it really should not be hyphoned) referred to hatred of Jewish people exclusively, as it did not mean quite literally the hatred of all semites. It was simply an attempt to create a word that sounded more scientific than "Jew hatred".

Quite obviously, since so many of their fellow semites hate Jews with an unsurpassed fervor , it should be a foregone conclusion to any person capable of thought that the term does not refer to hatred of all semitic people.

You're being dishonest again. We went over this same subject a few days ago in another thread.

Yes, I'm well aware of the fact that Jews have tried to own the label, nothing new. For whatever reason, you folk want to suppress any criticism of the Israeli governments foreign policy by bringing Jews into the equation. But isn't the Israeli government secular, or do they govern by Jewish law. And, are all Israeli's Jews?

And again and still, you misrepresent me. I'm anti Israeli government foreign policy. I don't speak to Jews per say, and don't care about their religion so long as it's not informing government policy.

Like I said, we hashed this out several days back in another thread. Quote me saying I support the killings or extermination of Jews, or any group of people for that matter.

Jews have "tried to own the label"? They did an awfully good job of it in the 30s and 40s, didn't they?

Are you even capable of telling the truth? The truth of the matter is that only in the minds of twisted and hateful things that they somehow chose this label, themselves. They have not tried to "own" this label. It was created specifically for them.
