We're sick to death of this argument. Listen.

If you're a vicious anti-Semitic bigot and you hatefully spit out the phrase "Zionist Jew", your ability to use a modifier doesn't make you less of a vicous anti-Semitic bigot. We know you mean "Jew". You know you mean "Jew". Your audience knows you mean "Jew". Let's take some examples from Radio Islam, home of UC Irvine Muslim Student Union favorite Abdul Malik:

"Zionist Jew Pehr Gyllenhammar"? You mean "Jew Pehr Gyllenhammar".

"Zionist Jew Haim Saban"? You mean "Jew Haim Saban".

"Douglas Feith - Zionist Jew"? You mean "Douglas Feith - Jew".

Why not just come right out and say it? Are you afraid that you won't get invited to UC Irvine any more:

Or that when you are invited, you won't have Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Manuel Gomez insisting that your vicious hate speech is educational? Don't be so worried. We seriously doubt that radical Muslims could do anything to draw the administration's ire at this point. When they've screamed down speakers they don't like and then gotten congratulated for contributing to free speech... well, that's about all anyone needs to know.

Vicious bigots.
