Previously on "Cameron: State multiculturalism has failed"
My statement was not anti-semitic. I fully understand your posting but do you not see that it is your interpretation, not everybody elses?
You didn't post your original "and there's that thing about the Jews" to attack anti-semitism you posted it as an attack on me. That attack has failed because my original post was not anti-semtic and I add again that I am not an anti-semitist.
Now continue all you like but I'm going to leave it there.
By all means leave it there. I will also leave it there, but I am genuinely deeply puzzled. And a little depressed about what passes for not being anti-semitic. Funny old world.
Can you really not see? Honestly, not as a debating point? Because you're not stupid. Are you actually astonished that someone reasonable (and I do know what the come-back is on that) might read those words and think that you're anti-semitic?
But, here we go:
It is not a good thing to be 'in it for themselves' and to see Gentiles as 'to be used' - it is a pretty negative view-point to think that people are like this. It is also not reasonable to extrapolate from you your own experience, that because Jewish people that you know in this company are 'like that', then Jewish people in general are like that.
What you have done is to apply this negative view-point to a people, which is prejudice.

And where is my predjudice against Jews and where particular in my statement?
