No. You did not 'predict' a story about the state of Israel behaving in a racist manner against a group of Jewish people.
It would be hilarious, though, to see you claim howhis was anti-semitic, given that both victims and perpetrators are Jewish.

No my prediction was that this thread regarding anti-semitism would descend in to the usual anti-israel mud throwing. Its exactly what you have done. You couldnt miss the opportunity.

I must say, your defence of the state of Israel in this case could be perceived as quite racist.
At this rate, you'll be in Oz for the start of the NRL season.

There was an interesting edition of Beyond Belief on R4 yesterday that discussed the rise in attacks on Jews in Europe. Along the way it was pointed out that the anti-Israel/anti-Jew/anti-Semite conflation is used by people and organisations on both sides of the argument. The pro-Israeli side uses it to attack any criticism of the state as being anti-Semitic, while the ant-Jewish side tends to use it to excuse anti-Semitic remarks as being criticism of Israel and it's policies.

I didn't.
You, however, launched yourself on here as, in effect, supporting a classic way of stifling debate about the behaviour of the state of Israel.
You could have posted something about the opening post. You didn't. You posted your 'prediction' of how the thread would turn into something that, at that point anyway, it had not become. In so doing, you – and you alone – changed the nature of the thread.
Well done.

What is really sad is that those who are accused then seem to be forced to publicly apologise for daring to criticise Israeli policy in the middle east.
I think it was the timing of the cartoon that caused most offence, although I would imagine the anti-Semite card would have been played, albeit on a slightly less public scale.
The way in which Israeli people treat Palestinians is atrocious, I understand that besides building on land that doesn't belong to them, there are many racially aggravated assaults without any motive or provocation.

In other words, this thread has become what I said – anti-semitic etc. Thus, criticising the racist actions of the state of Israel against a group of Jewish people is 'anti-semitic'.

I didnt start posting irrelevant anti-israeli posts, you did. The OP hasnt openly and neutrally opened a debate on the nature of anti-semitism, there is a clear and obvious bias in his post and standpoint and previous posts. It was addressed as it should have been. The fact my prediction came through within in a page of it being posted pretty much means my decision to make that prediction defends itself.
