Being Jewish has nothing to do with Israeli state policy. Is that so difficult to understand? Some German living in the US in early 40s was not responsible for Nazis. What is wrong with people?

Lately it's seems to me simple logic has no correlation with technical ability. You're not a general genius Bob, you're just good at computers.



He directly said Jews. Quote from his blog:

“If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself”


If that's the quote, damn, that is sooo wrong. Aside from the overt antisemitism, just replace whoever he is talking about with "X".

For any X, when they live constantly among existential threats, in particular other petro-states, who explicitly state that you should be "wiped off the map" and who use and fund impoverished neighbors to instigate and wage proxy wars against you, you should be extremely concerned if you and your nation do NOT prepare strongly by taking up arms in defense of themselves.

Characterizing a necessary defense posture as some kind of blood lust is just sick and ignorant.

The guy should be fired.


Isn't that the point that the person you're responding to is trying to make? That the diversity head was wrong to make such a generalization?
