There are far far worse governments and regimes than Israel. You know that, or you certainly should know it, yet you choose to constantly vilify Israel rather than any of them.
You're out of touch both with current attitudes to this sort of thing , and the history of anti semitism which has always and without exception started with similar excuses and diversions - moneylending, profiteering from poverty, keeping the good jobs amongst themselves, infiltrating the royal court or plotting against the church. It's often ended in horrible abuses and even genocide, and therefore people have learned to challenge such bigotry and reject the bigots excuses at an early stage.
We know what's behind it and where it will lead if we stand by and accept excuses.
That's the real and substantive issue here, but it also irritates me that the tiny number of anti Semites within our number have given our whole club a bad name on this subject. I'm tired of reading stuff about Cardiff City hating Jews because that's just not true and I know that 99.999% of our supporters reject all kinds of racism.
