He managed to be both pro-Israel and anti-semitic both at the same time. Well, then. :/

A lot of non-Jewish, completely unaffected supporters of Israel strike me this way. Obviously people can have a ton of reasons to support Israel (or, more rationally, *not* take sides), but I think that anti-Semites LOVE Israel when they i) want all Jews to go live there, ii) hate Arabs more than they hate Jews, and possibly iii) have unidentified white guilt they believe a staunch pro-Israel stance will remedy.

I'm not discounting rational, educated arguments for Israel, but rather these people who think Israel is always above criticism and would not-so-secretly like to wipe Palestinians from the face of the earth.

Don't forget iv) needs "The Jews" in place in the holy land for their kooky end-of-days shit.

Omg me too. I haven't watched the show in years, but remembering Wizardmon's death still makes me sad. Whalemon's too. :(

[celtic_thistle]

YES. That show could be so heavy :(

I think I was more shocked by the sheer level of "is he even listening to himself?" that he came up with.
