Opinions are open to interpretation unless you clarify the basis behind the opinion, you may be misinterpreting a statement. |
LOL ok. Is your position that only tangible objects can be antisemitic and personal opinions cannot be? “People are ignorant to an extent to what statements jews may find antisemitic.” Please don’t play dumb. I don’t think it’s like, an unknowable mystery that Jews might find “Israeli = Nazi Germany” to be an antisemitic statement. |
Got it, so I can’t ever assume a statement is antisemitic without interviewing the person who made it and asking if they personally intended for it to be antisemitic. I have news for you, 9/10 antisemites would deny their intent. If someone said “MLK Jr. = Hitler” I think it would be fair to assume that person is racist. I’m not going to approach that person and be like “oh do you mean because they both have mustaches?” Please. |
I don’t agree with you. You cannot assume to just know the intent behind a statement/opinion that’s not your own. Quickly calling a person antisemitic based on a statement seems hasty and defeatist. |
You absolutely can assume the intent behind a statement/opinion that’s not your own. Like, what? This is an insane point of view, even apart from this whole discussion about antisemitism. You’re saying people can never judge others’ opinions because they’re not literally inside that person’s head? You can’t just go around shouting blatantly antisemitic things and then when people challenge you, say “you’re making assumptions! That’s not what I actually meant!” Ok. What did you actually mean then? Why to comparison to Nazis and not some other group? |
Again, nuance, yes if someone is stating death to all Jews! verses the Isreali government is terroristic. These two statements mean different things to different people. One is clearly antisemitic and the other, perhaps based on nonjews ignorance, may not be seen as antisemitism. |
They’re not saying “the Isreali government is terroristic” though, they are saying ISRAEL = NAZI GERMANY. I don’t need any further information to conclude that is an antisemitic statement. Also, if you’re going to argue that nothing short of shouting “death to all Jews” is antisemitic, you’re not going to get anywhere with me, sorry. “the other, perhaps based on nonjews ignorance, may not be seen as antisemitism.” Well I guess we can agree that antisemites are ignorant. |
My point is that different statements can be interpreted differently by different people, including statements that jewish people find to be antisemitic. All jewish people find exactly the same statements to be antisemitic? Is there a book or list of such statements? |
This is one of many articles our there showing how Israel is replicating the actions of the Nazis. So much more needs to said and written on the parallels once we can get over these nonsense antisemitism accusations.

The IDF is still bombing Gaza. They did so again today and killed their 186th journalist and more woman and children. Enough.

Antisemitism is different from basic racism against African American, Asian American, etc. in that antisemitism not only involves a ‘race’ of white appearing people, but also a religion and a nation. It’s much more involved than racism. |
Ok. I can see now that you’re not even PLAYING dumb. Do all Black people need to fine a statement racist for it to be considered racist? The ADL, AJC, WJC, and basically every other mainstream Jewish group have called Holocaust inversion antisemitic. And FWIW, yes there is a “list of such statements.” The Working Definition of Antisemitism – adopted by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance, the U.S. Department of State, and other organizations – offers several examples to help determine when criticism of Israel may be antisemitic, including "drawing comparison of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis" And even setting all that aside - common sense would dictate that comparing a group to their oppressors who murdered six million of them would be seen by that group as bigoted and offensive. Unless you’re an antisemite, in which case your common sense is probably impaired. |
No, the comparison is used because it best captures how awful the policies and actions of Israel truly are. As bad as Stalin and Pol Pot and others have been throughout history, I recognize the unique evil in what the Nazi regime did - and I see startling parallels in what Israel has been doing to the Palestinians for decades. Trying to twist it into some kind of attempt at psychic harm is missing the mark entirely. |
Oh wow, an article from Middle East eye dot net by Soumaya Ghannoushi, writer for Al Quds (which famously declared the Protocols of the Elders of Zion to be legitimate). I’m sure that’s super reliable reporting and not at all biased. |
Your comparison is repulsive. BLM protests : lynch mobs against the backdrop of slavery in this country = Israeli atrocities : Nazi atrocities? Are you f^cking serious? |
