I would condemn the filthy terrorist, but I understand that would be racism and proof that Zionists don't want peace.

It also goes without saying that Israeli "settlements" (i.e. live Jews) are the biggest obstacle to peace, not the wish of the enemy to annihilate the Jews.

Healthy dose of Sarcasm there.  But this is a good reference to a statement I made on another blog.  The difference between being young and myopic and old and cynical is experience.

The sarcasm is actually a trick, not just sarcasm for sarcasm's sake.

I believe that if anybody tried to use the same type of sarcasm for my side, it wouldn't work.

It's the claimed belief vs real belief duality again. While I can write something like the above and everyone sees it's sarcasm (even if they disagree with me and think that I am evil for being sarcastic), my bet is that a NASPA (non-anti-Semitic peace activist) cannot write about Israel or Zionism using the same sarkasm because it simply wouldn't be so over the top and would actually make sense.

Think about things Israel does and what Israel's supporters claim about Israel:

1. Israel build a border fence (or wall, if you will).

2. Israel's supporters claim Israel wants to be secure from terrorism.

3. Israel builds a border fence to be secure from terrorism.

It doesn't sound very sarcastic. It makes sense.

In order to make such sarcasm seem sarcastic, my opponent would likely have to replace what Israel's supporters say with what Israel's opponent claim Israel's supporters say.

1. Israel build a border fence.

2. Israel's supporters want Israel to be Arab-free.

3. Israel builds a border fence to be Arab-free.

Again the sarcasm doesn't work. Instead we end up with a simple lie.

Whatever it is that Israel does, if you combine it it statements made by Israeli supporters it doesn't really result in something awfully funny or sarcastic.

The reason the result is sarcasm when you take what Israel's opponents say and do is because they are wrong.

Sarcasm is not only a cheap form of humour, it is also tool to be used like Ockham's Razor to find out whether a claim is true or false.

(Think of the terrorist who blows up a Jewish school in Jerusalem because he identified the school as the source of the oppression that he has a right to resist. Again mixing the action with its explanation sounds like sarcasm.)

I see your point.  But it only works for another reason.  hate.  In other words, as long as the hate is one way, it will work.  If there is no hate, then it would not work.  Or if there is hate on both sides, it would work both ways.  The sarcasm is not a "punny little thing", but a basic precept of the 2 sides (not saying that the Israelis are saints, only that they do not exhibit the hate that Hamas does).  I am sure someone is going to jump in and tell me I am wrong, but to my knowledge, Israel has not called for the erradication of palestinians, Arabs or Muslims.

But there are many people who believe that is what Zionists want.

I believe the basic formula goes:

1. Israel's enemies are not that bad.

2. And even if they are, Israel is bad too.

3. In fact, Israel is even worse.

4. If Israel's enemies call for the eradication of all Jews, then Zionists, since they are worse, must call for the eradication of Arabs.

5. Hence (follows from all first four), Zionists are Nazis.

It's very simple indeed.

As are the minds of the ones spouting the idiocy.  But then no one went broke underestimating the intelligence of the population as a whole.
