Strange consistency

[fpb]

A couple of years ago I deleted and eventually banned someone for horrid and strangely unselfconscious Jew-bashing. ("Well, of course it's true that Jews danced in the streets when the Twin Towers went down, and I can't imagine why you should say that I am prejudiced against Jews! I'm a very put-upon person!")

Since then this same person has resurfaced as a rabid Snapefan/Slytherfan, convinced that Hogwarts is a horrible brainwashing place, that Snape was a true hero, and that everyone from Albus Dumbledore to Neville Longbottom is varying degrees of evil and/or brainwashed. Oh, and that there was nothing discernibly wrong about blood prejudice and the Voldemort movement.

"By their fruit ye shall know them."

I know a rabid Slytherin fan and Malfoy-identifier who's Jewish and a strong supporter of Israel. (I think she trashes Dumbledore, but doesn't defend Voldemort.) I'm not sure what we should be concluding, here.

In the case of this person, intellectual sins definitely go together. As for your Dumble-basher, not all supporters of Israel are nice people. I met one or two I would cross the road to avoid - people with colossal chips on the shoulder and an irrational hatred for Christians and/or religious Jews. I do not support Israel because I like that kind of person, but because I think it is right.
