What? Now there is a world-wide organization of Jews that determines "Jewish opinion"? The Jews are a monolithic group of people that all think and behave the same way? Wow! So the Nazis and Klan are right!
Heh. That's funny. By stereotyping Jews (although in a more positive light), you're pretty much demeaning the Jewish people, too.
At any rate (although I know this point will be ignored...after all, you're trying hard to evade it right now), the point is that the language is bigoted and displays racism.

This would have been a bigoted statement had I actually made it. It displays an utter contempt for an entire people. It ignores the actual diversity of an entire people in favor of a stereotype of monolithic attitudes and behavior.
But the palestinians don't plan on doing what they cannot, wiping out ISrael in a few blasts - much as they salivate at the thought.
This is a bigoted statement that you did utter, and in fact you compound your error:
quote:
The palestinians CANNOT, but they keep trying to.
(although at least this time you did not try to portray them as salivating beasts.)
Again, these statements display an utter contempt for an entire people. They ignore the actual diversity of an entire people in favor of a stereotype of monolithic attitudes and behavior.
