RE: Question from BBC

Can we please keep our individual political views out of the discussions? We
all can enjoy and agree on our love of Jewish music. For political and
religious debate, there are other forums.

What is that supposed to mean, "directly related to the blood libel"?  I
have read and watched the BBC news for quite some time lately, and all I
see is that the BBC presents a more Palestinian perspective than the
mainstream U.S. news networks.  Because they report on when Israeli tanks
demolish homes and villages, that makes them anti-Jewish?  I think it
makes them anti-imperialist or pro-oppressed people (they also report on
uprisings, starvations, and other crises in Africa, South America, and
Asia), not anti-Jewish.

As far as I'm concerned, my heritage is in Eastern Europe, the land of
Yiddish and kugel and Chelm, not Israel.  I don't see why it has to be so
personal....
