i've heard this several times recently and although i agree with what i perceive the message of ows to be, i cannot support a bigoted organization.
My grandfather is a Czech Jew that fled prior to the war. Our family could only afford his ticket so he came alone. He was adopted and had a good life, lost contact with his family thru the years with many still unconfirmed rumors up to and including the death chambers. He met and married a beautiful Cherokee princess, my grandmother. I have a unique perspective here. I can't stand the Jew hate that comes from some of these guys but I do see where they're coming from on certain points. Like why do we spend trillions of dollars on Israel for their right to have and protect a homeland?...but more importantly why is any critic of our policy with Israel automaticallylabeled a Nazi?....even me, the proud grandson gets called a Nazi when I question this and think it JUST MIGHT have something to do with the controlled media I'm again called a Nazi.
NO MORE $ TO ISRAEL UNTIL THE NATIVE ANERICANS HAVE A HOMELAND!
they are probably scared: some one is going to steal their land
There's a group of neo-Nazi loonies in this country, and unfortunately our hate speech laws aren't strong enough to induce them to shut up (or at least keep their crap in private). There are a few of them on here, and every so often some of them show up at one of the protests, and it's not always dealt with in time. That is, however, changing. Apparently they're getting booted from the forum more and more regularly, and there are a number of incidents in which OWS protesters have repudiated anti-Semites onsite.
I have not heard any antisemitism from OWS. Here on this forum, all kinds of people post their thoughts and opinions. From antisemitism, pro-Illuminati, OWS haters, OWS lovers, middle conservatives, tea party members, communists, socialists, people for a resource based economy, vegetarians, environmentalists, some who claim to be the 1%, philosophers, grandmothers, teachers, etc. etc. etc.
