I bet that nearly identical near-Fascist-nonsense reasoning is used by the Right in countries all over the world to pressure dissenters into falling into line.

- hankroth, on 10/12/2007, -3/+14It isn't that simple. Nothing is clearly black and white. It is quite possible to be a humanitarian, defend Israel's right to exist and still be critical of the government when it causes indiscriminate harm to others. Prager may be right about a lot of things but he is also a demagogue and intolerant of differences of opinion. Granted the left often responds to injustice with the same intolerance which is why the left in Israel and many Jews on the left in the Diaspora can be both right and left or to be more accurate, neither left nor right. Following a line of march is stupid no matter how right it feels. You can't really judge in the manner of a Solomon without putting yourself in someone elses shoes first. Prager and Horowitz and others like them should be as discredited as their narrow-mindedness. Remember Hillel said (to paraphrase) "If we are only for ourselves, what are we?" ... Even as he said, "If we are not for ourselves who will be?" Therefore we can be neither without being both. And Prager has forgotten that very Jewish precept.

It's not enough to condemn everybody else as being anti-Semitic when Israel is criticized, now the loonies in the Jewish community have turned on their own who're not sufficiently bloodthirsty! - wmattison, on 10/12/2007, -1/+5That sounds like stockholm syndrome...
- prthealien, on 10/12/2007, -3/+6It's how this PC country works. Question the US' relationship with Isreal and you're instantly labeled an anti-Semite, or a self-hating Jew. Unbelieveable.
- lived666, on 10/12/2007, -2/+5Neil Cavuto had Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss on a few days ago. I think Prager is talking about him.

But then again - never mind. This way it better reflects your level of ignorance to any intelligent reader.
- SuperMoses, on 01/09/2009, -1/+1The irony is that their very comments are anti-Semitic. To think that Jews and Israel government are all one and the same and anyone in opposition is either anti-Semitic or self-hating Jews is in itself anti-Semitic.

And Israel is the only nation I ever heard of dumb enough to give its enemies weapons! And supply them with electricity and water! While this enemy is actively killing them and holding a soldier hostage!
Attention Israelis...despite what you read on digg, Americans are behind you, recent polls prove. Pursue your war and win it! And finish off Hamas once and for all.
Where are the open-minded Muslims? Where are the Muslims protesting Hamas death-rockets? - goodoldharris, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2bury
- davenp35, on 10/12/2007, -20/+6Prager was dead on!
- CJWright, on 10/12/2007, -22/+4If it makes more people intersted in Prager's excellent scholarship - great. You just have to ignore the ignorant blathering in the comments down below. Here's where you can find many examples of Prager's scholarship (Remember to THINK & not just REHASH!!): http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0806/prager_archives.asp
Within here you can see his article on this video's topic: http://www.jewishworldreview.com/0506/prager051606.php3
as well as one on why this might occur so often: http://jewishworldreview.com/0406/prager042506.php3
But my favorite though is "Explaining the Arab-Israeli conflict through numbers":

Happy reading and thinking!!
