Are you anti-Israel or just a good, old-fashioned anti-Semite? Why not take the test:
This is the Ari Weisbrot test (he's a prominent litigator in New York and New Jersey, and moonlights as an occasional writer)

 

Ari says that a majority of the world has hated the Jewish people since the sawn of time. Ancient (and modern) Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, crusading and non-crusading Christians, Muslims, Spanish Inquisitors, French, German, and Portuguese expellers, European Progromers, British Massacres, Italian Ghettos, Nazis, Arabs, the KKK, the BDS, the Congressional Black Caucus, Walt Disney, HP Lovecraft, Roald Dahl, Henry Ford, Roger Waters, Alice Walker, British politicians such as David Ward, George Galloway, Jenny Tonge and Graeme Morris. A never-ending list of alleged, maybe or already-proven bigots and racists.

Each of these alleged, maybe or already-proven anti-Semites believes or believed in their cause. The Jews aren’t a mere annoyance. They are the cause of everything wrong about the world. In the old days, you could also count on some mitigating hatred of black, gays, gypsies, the physically or mentally challenged, and any random minority who could be readily labeled as an enemy.

No longer though.

As liberalism and political correctness have drastically reduced the list of targets, it’s much harder to find a good scapegoat for the problems of the world. In some circles, it is even considered taboo to outwardly hate the Jews. So, what is a closet anti-Semite to do? Blame everything on Israel and "explain"  that "they don’t have a problem with the Jewish people – just the policies of the Israeli Government" and  "Some of my best friends are Jews" is the norm.

But, because the three categories are so similar and often indistinguishable, this is a quick test developed by Ari Weisbrot to help you decide whether you are:
(1) Anti-Semitic
(2) Anti-Israel, or
(3) Just a complete idiot.

Please answer the following questions (as the psychometric-mad HR people would say, "there are no right answers"). For the purposes of this test, “Terrorism” is defined exclusively as the intentional targeting of civilians and non-combatants for murder.

1. If you are a woman, would you rather live in Israel or Saudi Arabia (or other Muslim country)?


2. If you are gay, would you rather live in Israel or Egypt (or other Muslim country)?


3. If you are a practicing Christian, would you rather live in Israel or in Iran (or other Muslim Country)?


4. If you are a terrorist, would you rather live in Israel or in Syria (or other Muslim Country)?


5. If you wanted to join an approved, or at least state-facilitated Terror organization, where would you have the best luck? Israel or Pakistan (or other Muslim country)?


6. If you invented a high-tech product worth millions, would you rather live in Israel or in Afghanistan (or other Muslim Country)?


7. If you wanted to start a successful business, would you rather live in Israel or in Yemen (or other Muslim Country)?


8. Extra credit, If you wanted to start a successful business, and you are a woman, homosexual, or minority, would you rather live in Israel or in Iraq (or other Muslim Country)?


9. If you were a Jewish citizen of any Muslim Country, what would be your odds of becoming a Supreme Court Judge, High Army Commander, Miss-Universe representative, a member of the Parliament, owning your own land, openly practicing your religion, or starting as the captain of your national soccer team? (Nil)


10. If you were a Muslim citizen of Israel, what would be your odds of becoming a Supreme Court Judge, High Army Commander, Miss-Universe representative, a member of the Parliament, owning your own land, openly practicing your religion, or starting as the captain of your national soccer team? (Pretty good)

23. True or False: The Jews control the media, the world’s finances, Hollywood, and the US Congress? (Basically everything that impacts your life). If you answered "true", proceed to question 23 after explaining why the President of the USA is NOT Jewish, why most bankers are NOT Jewish and while most of the world's media owners, such as Rupert Murdoch, Evgeny Alexandrovich Lebedev, the Barclay Brothers, the late Felix Dennis etc are NOT Jewish.
 

24. With respect to Iran’s nuclear program, do you advocate cutting a deal and hoping it prevents Iran from making good on its promise to annihilate Israel, or do you think Israel should do everything in its power, even if it insults the President of the United States, to prevent its own destruction?
 

25. Speaking of which, what lesson did you learn, if any, when Israel was told that its withdrawal from Gaza in 2005 (as they did) would be the only way to stop terror attacks emanating from that territory and that everything would be fine.
 

26. How did that work out? After the Palestinians destroyed $100's of millions worth of good housing and crops when the Israelis left.
 

27. How do you explain:

  • the multi-million-dollar land deals, luxury villas and black market fuel from Egypt that Gaza's rulers made billions

  • that there are an estimated 1,700 millionaires among Hamas members while the rest of the population struggles with 38-percent poverty and 40-percent unemployment

  • Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal has personal wealth of $2.6 billion (stored in Qatari and Egyptian banks).

  • Ismail Haniyeh, the "freedom fighter" in Gaza has a $4m personal fortune
