[quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]OK, find the antisemitism in this statement (which has been posted and deleted twice):

“ Antisemitism itself is vile and unacceptable, but the Jewish community is either incapable or unwilling to link the rise of attacks to the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza. None of this is happening in a vacuum.”

Because I am the one who has deleted it twice, let me explain. I fault you for directing your criticism at "the Jewish community". Your point that the Israeli government's actions in Gaza are provoking attacks on the Jewish community is valid and one with which I agree (though I stress that is not a justification for such attacks, rather it is just stating reality). However, there is no evidence that a failure to recognize this fact is limited to the Jewish community or that the Jewish community as a whole has failed to recognize the connection. To the contrary, your criticism applies to a great many non-Jews. Moreover, many members of the Jewish community have been among the most vocal supporters of the Palestinians and they clearly recognize that violence begets violence. The Jewish community should not be singled out in the way that you did.

Second, when your post is deleted once, that should be an indication to you that it is not acceptable. When it is deleted a second time, it should be abundantly clear that your post is unwanted. By the third time you have posted it, you have crossed the line into trolling. As such, you have earned a short break from DCUM. Please use your time away from our community wisely.
