So she's saying that Israel is doing evil things and paying off politicians to keep their mouth shut. If it were any other country people would not care, but since she's criticizing Israel it's antisemitic?

I don’t agree.

Lots of people who understand civics are fascists

The problem is people making decisions for other people and that’s exactly what democracy is all about

The U.S. ain't a democracy though...it's a constitutional republic. ;)

My fascist(?) tendency is to think: Uneducated people shouldn't be allowed to vote. Voting should be a privilege, not a right.

But I think that's a wrong way to go about it. I'm not actually interested in politics, so I'm open to getting my mind changed about this.

Dude that’s ****ing rhetoric that sounds totally like Hamas and Hezbollah from this dirty piece of trash who dresses like a charter member. The stated goals of those groups the complete elimination of Israel. It’s definitive antisemitism. **** her brown skin Hitlerism.

The majority of the people wanting something to happen should be irrelevant

Most people up on civics tend to be dip****s as well. Being educated does not make you intelligent or give you good judgement.

Completely true, with the Allah bit put in there it seems more like Islam vs the Jews over Israel.

Teachers often times push their own opinions or views onto students as they teach. I had a teacher tell us that global warming was a hoax as a student.
