Allegations of racism aside, I think it's a very sad situation when groups are openly inviting controversy, and cry foul when an expected unfavourable response happens.

I don't think this bodes well even for people who are honestly trying to keep up with current events, and who also wade through all the noise. I can't imagine what people who don't even read much would make of this. I suppose that's the point isn't it? All this noise isn't for the people who read, it's for the people who just want to feel.

Isn't that what happened to the Asians? When people needed something to blame, the Asians were the targets of random attacks. Women and seniors were the ones who ended up hospitalized. It was wrong then, it's still wrong now for the pro-Israel groups to invite and promote this emotion of victimization within their communities.
