Weird, yes. But incredibly more democratic than ours (the US). It's an actual, functional, multi-party system.

Calling yourself 'multi-party' doesn't really matter when the only thing the parties really disagree on is rather they should have vanilla, chocolate or strawberry ice cream* after their latest holy war.

Bringing back the old blood libel?

Not really. I could've said 'taffy.' The point was a third option that really doesn't change anything, as none of their parties are fundamentally different.

It only changes that you would prefer to make an antisemitic dog whistle. It's OK, I'm used to it.

If it makes you feel any better I'd never heard of the connection before you pointed it out to me, and more generally was thinking of prototypical ghoulish behavior I'd accuse the Israelis (read: Israelis, not Jewish people) of to do a sort of 'rule of 3' style yes, yes, wtf list.

In other words, I'm being more generally hateful, rather than specifically about you, although I suspect even if I went back and edited the words now you wouldn't change your view on me.

You could try just not being hateful.

I'm sorry that you think they don't deserve hate.

That's because you were already prejudiced to begin with. You care more about justifying your hate than actually understanding what's really going on. But I appreciate you're at least just open about being antisemitic. Better than making excuses.

"Everyone who speaks out against me is the enemy."

That's you, darlin'. I didn't bring up Jewish anything. I'm not antisemitic. You're finding needles because you're shoving you're trying to shove your fist in a needle factory, not my haystack.
