Gotta say, the idea that antisemitism is "the driving force behind the anti-Iraq War movement" is crap, and to promote that idea here is irresponsible.--[[User:WJThomas|WJThomas]] 14:07, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

:The cites on the page say so. And not just the anti-War movement, the 9/11 Truthers, too. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 14:14, 19 April 2007 (EDT)

::For the sake of clarity, I'm not trying to claim that nobody who has protested is anti-semitic, or that some organization that has been involved in protesting isn't anti-semitic. Not saying they are either - I have no idea. But the claim that the general basis of opposition to the war is anti-semitism is the equivalent of the VRWC.

:::Well, one big problem the anti-War movement has today is well documented in the mainsapce article here--the original persons and organizations that spoke out immediately after 9/11 and in 2003 either pointedly made statements constued as anti-Semitic, or they were interpreted as such. Since that time, a vast "middle" so to speak has joined up with these sentiments, and in many cases not realizing it, or not familiar with the background. Our purpose here is to not lose site of the leadership of the anti-War movement, their stated goals, objectives, and motivations, and to educate people about exactly what the rational is for this dissent from American foreign policy. And most specifically of all, we must not lose sight of the fact this is not limited to the US; it is widespread in Europe and in Islam. The American anti-War movement appears to be a Johnnie-come-lately to this phenomenon. [[User:RobS|RobS]] 16:31, 19 April 2007 (EDT)
