The fox is guarding the hen house:

"In a stinging diplomatic defeat for Israel, the world’s largest international police organization on Wednesday accepted the “State of Palestine” as a full member.

Israel fiercely objected to the Palestinians joining Interpol, arguing that Ramallah’s alleged support for terrorism could hinder rather than aid Interpol’s efforts. The US administration, too, objected to Ramallah’s membership bid and helped Israel lobby against it."

I figure there's gotta be enough Palsymps in Interpol's European member agencies that the institution's operational security was blown years ago.

I don't fully understand that post, though I imagine "Palsymps" must be Palestinian sympathisers. Can you restate it in another form?

Damned autocorrect. It should read "enough Palsymps". I've edited the post to correct the mistake. I apologize for the confusion.

By the same reasoning, it would also be broken because Iran and Syria, allies of Hamas, are long-time members. That way, we could go on with whatever state is a member of the "axis of evil" du jour.

Good point.

Giz, I get what you're saying, but it's pretty much a lost cause already.

In fact, you're arguing that Israel's and the USA's objections to Palestine joining Interpol don't make sense.

I would never have imagined you opposing Israeli policies. :D

It's worth protesting against a massive wave of hate, even when it isn't new.
 
If an apartheid state can be a member of Interpol i don't see why terrorists should be excluded.
 
Criticism of Israel, whether accurate or not, is not anti-semitism, just like criticism of Uganda is not racism.

Yes it is, according to right wing Zionists. They have no other argument, as may be seen in this thread. I challenge the OP to show us a single antisemitic statement. On the other hand the expression Palsymps looks to be anti Palestinian as well as anti terrorist.

But on reflection I think this thread may be an exercise in trolling, and without any substantive value. Nothing is likely to be learned from it.

That depends on the criticism. If you go around spouting that Netenyahu's latest utterance is moving forward the goals of the Elder's of Zion to found a "greater Israel" from the Nile to the Euphrates, that's an anti-Semetic conspiracy theory.

It's also worth pointing out that while specific criticism may not itself be anti-Semetic, it certainly may be motivated by anti-Semitism.

I seem to remember a whole lot of arguments you walked away from because you couldn't answer them.

I read actually similar claims from an inside source - Netanyahu's son. :boxedin:

sorry but race has very little to do with a religious/political dispute
esp as arab's are far more Semitic then the euro-Jews who moved in recently
and god is not a real estate agent
that said ''a "greater Israel" from the Nile to the Euphrates,''
would likely be better run then the current mess

anti-Zionist is a far better term for opposition to Netenyahu's latest crime

1) Learn about Wilhelm Marr, and why "anti-Semitism" doesn't mean hatred of Semitic peoples.

2) Agreed, but then again nobody was claiming God was.

3) Can't disagree, but it's not an option.

4) Except many of Netenyahu's opponents are also Zionists, suggesting you don't know what the term means.
