My original post is right here. I plainly stated that I would not be observing Passover and would, in fact, be eating a bacon cheeseburger.

ChicagoMotorman's response irrationally declaring my dinner to be "racist" and "antisemitic" is also available here.

No, you plainly stated that you would be "briefly imagining the concept of matzoh before eating a bacon cheeseburger on a regular bun", which is an attack on the beliefs of Jews and not a comment on your "dinner". That is what chicagomotorman and others were responding to. If you want to keep acting stupid and pretend it's anything but that, by all means keep digging while in your self-excavated hole.

What, does all matzoh become tref if the idea of it enters my head at the same time as the idea of a bacon cheeseburger? I'm pretty sure some form of physical contact was required.

Backpedaling? You mean reiterating. My position has been constant throughout the thread, namely:

(a) I do not observe Passover.

(b) This fact is not offensive to anybody.

(c) This fact is not something I am obliged to hide.

Considering that you regularly call everybody "Nazis," including Jews, I would say you're the real antisemite here. It would fit well with your unashamed hatred of black people.

If you can't figure out what is wrong with that word in the context in which you used it, you have a mental disability. You don't celebrate an event by doing something that is directly counter to the activities associated with the event.

Israel is not impoverishing the entire Palestinian population. How do you feel about the conditions in the Palestinian refugee camps in Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan? Does it bother you that all the people there have been unable to gain citizenship in any country and are used as political pawns by the other Arab nations in that region? Or what about the fact that the Arabs didn't accept the 1947 UN Partition Plan that would have created an Arab state in Mandate Palestine?

There is absolutely nothing wrong with any of the words I used in any context. What's "wrong" is that you and a few others have decided that you're entitled to absolute control over how other people live their lives, and so you consider it "offensive" for someone to exist without following all of your rituals to the letter.

I'm sure a couple people here celebrate Christmas with Chinese food and movies, yet somehow the few hundred million Christians don't claim you're being "offensive" for doing so.

If you're offended by my dietary choices, then you have a mental disability. If you think you're entitled to any say into what I eat, then you have a mental disability. If you think I have any obligation to celebrate events the way you think they should be celebrated, then you have a mental disability. This is not about my choice of language— this is about you and your need to control other people's lives.

You have been extraordinarily offensive, but somehow I've managed to let it slide thus far.

West Bank. Gaza. Israeli occupation thereof.

Opposing one wrong does not imply endorsement of any other wrongs.

The failure to create an Arab state is probably for the best; there are too many of those as it is. I'm not immediately familiar with the history, but I'm not betting on an "Arab state" being secular.

If I posted on December 24 that I was upset that there was nothing open that day except Chinese restaurants and movie theaters and how there was nothing else to do except to go to those venues or to stay at home because of other people's religious holiday, Christians would have every right to be upset at me. The same way I get upset at people who complain about Israel partially or completely shutting down for some holidays. If you don't like it, go somewhere else or keep it to yourself. No one is upset because you don't keep Kosher for Passover. People are upset because of how you go about letting us all know what you ate for dinner on Monday.

So you don't support the creation of an Arab state because it probably wouldn't be secular enough for you, but you hold Israel accountable for not giving the Arab citizens who find itself in the disputed territories rights that would destroy Israel's Jewish majority. What exactly do you want to see there? A bi-national state? That won't end well.

This example is not apropos.

In your example, you are complaining that other people don't conform to your beliefs.

I merely stated my plans— at which point you got upset that they didn't conform to your beliefs.

If you posted on December 24th that you planned to celebrate Christmas by eating Chinese food and seeing a movie, Christians would have no right to declare that you are "anti-Christian" for failing to celebrate Christmas in the "proper" way.

The same way I get upset at people who complain about Israel partially or completely shutting down for some holidays. If you don't like it, go somewhere else or keep it to yourself.

I never did anything of the sort.

No one is upset because you don't keep Kosher for Passover. People are upset because of how you go about letting us all know what you ate for dinner on Monday.

Exactly. You're not upset that I don't observe Passover— you're just upset that I mentioned that I don't observe Passover. Because apparently, my failure to follow your rituals is some horrible deviation that can only be tolerated if kept hidden.

Which goes back to the original question— is everybody who mentions eating bread during Passover "antisemitic?"

I face exactly the same amount of police harassment as any other photographer; I'm just a lot louder about it when I do— plenty of people just agree not to take photos, while I make a federal case out of every incident (sometimes literally).

And the funny thing is, I've won every time. The city has always admitted I'm right in the end.

Though you still haven't explained exactly what my opinions re: Passover/Israel/cheeseburgers/immigration have to do with the frequency of police harassment. That's the non sequitur I was talking about— the two things are completely unconnected.

If the Arabs were made full citizens of a bi-national state, demographic trends would ultimately result in the Jews losing their majority within Israel's borders. The solution to this is to create a state for the Palestinians where they can be a majority, thereby ensuring Israel's status as a democratic, Jewish state.
