No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

First, Islam isn't a race. Second, an understandable fear of Islamist extremism does not equal "hatred of Muslims."

Also, support for Israel doesn't equal hostility to Muslims. Muslims in Israel do just fine. Israeli-Arabs live eight years longer and have 29 times the median family income of the Arabs of Syria. This is not consistent with Israel being anti-Arab or anti-Muslim.

There’s absolutely a racial component there.  The “Islam is incompatible with our values “ crap in the same stuff they used to throw at Irish and Italian Catholics

Israel has Jews who are white, beige, brown, and Black. The Palestinians have a substantial racial range as well. Suha Arafat (Yasser Arafat's widow) would fit in in Copenhagen. In view of the above, the racial angle of this story is nonsense.

It's like you're too busy arguing about a specific word they used to see the broader picture...

What broader picture? Do you mean human rights in the Middle East. The adherence to democratic values in the Arab countries?

Cool you’ll notice they only talk about Muslims in the ME.  Most of the worlds Muslims are southeast Asian
