Just for fun, select up to two answers.

None of the above. But it wouldn’t surprise me if they never release such a statement.

This poll is so antisemitic.

If a statement is released, it will likely condemn both antisemitism an anti Islam in the same statement, calling for aid to Gaza. Maybe.

A Semite refers to anyone from the Middle East. Both Hebrew and Arabic along with Amharic, spoken in Ethiopia are classified as Semitic languages. for this reason Palestinians cannot be called anti-Semitic, because they are themselves Semites.


Whoa boy, i hadn't thought about that. It will be one finely crafted bit of sophistry when it comes out.

Kind of looking forward to it .

The meaning of the word antisemitism is different than the definition.

Can't be both, at least not specifically. If they condemn all the anti-islam rhetoric, the jews would consider this antisemitic.

What happened to Israel was a warcrime but that doesn't mean the IDF should get a blank check to kill as many people as they want.

Call me antisemitic all you want but I for one am tired of seeing Mormons and Evangelical Christians fawning over Israel and Jews in general like they're "God's Chosen People (tm)" when they are no such thing. It's ironic because those warm feelings are most certainly not reciprocated.

I am a believer in the Second Coming but I don't see these Jews or the modern state of Israel as the actual Israel of the Bible. These people are just place holders, and most of them are the "Synagogue of Satan" spoken of by Christ. I predict they are just there to bring attention to the land, do something stupid due to their arrogance, and cause a massive global conflict killing most of them and their malcontent neighbors and then the righteous surviors, the good people of God from all faiths, will establish the true Israel spoken of in scripture.

As far as this thread goes, the Brethren are staunch supporters of the state of Israel as that seems to be a requirement to have any significant influence in the United States or, almost any other western nation.

Correct, but that's where terms such as anti-Jewish and Jew-baiting come in.

Another option “they are awaiting further light and knowledge from the deep state” - much like the BLM comments at GC
