If you think trying to explain what antisemitism means is the same as making people feel sorry for Jews then every time you post about black lives, Muslim immigrants, indigenous people anywhere in the world, lgbtq people or any other minority that feed a hard time I can assume you are either trying to shame or make others feel sorry for these groups. so try reading without bias - here’s a repost of my most lengthy attempt at explaining to you. There is nothing in that which asks you to feel sorry for Jews. However if you feel shamed for sone of the phrases you have used then that’s a good start It is clear you do Not understand what antisemitic means. The potatoes post perpetuated a myth about Jews that has no basis in fact antisemitism is a specialised version of racism (though Jews are a religious group). You should know what racism is since you write screeds on it when you post about aboriginal rights or Black Lives Matter. You just fail dismally to apply the same principles to Jews let’s try some examples (which I personally repudiate but they are typical stereotypes) you can’t trust aborigines because they go walk about black men are violent (or better still have big male parts) Germans are arrogant French are great lovers (or Italians people if you prefer) women can’t do maths women are emotional men are rational making comments about Jews deserving what they get is antisemitic. Making comments that maybe Hitler was right is anti semitic. Commenting about Jewish wealth as if that is wrong or misused or In fact a generalised state of Jews is antisemitic. Describing them as gods chosen people in a context designed to denigrate Jews in general is anti semitic. All of these types of posts have been made at one time or another on hotcopper. They have nothing whatsoever to do with Israel, Netanyahu or the Middle East. They are antisemitic because they rely on characterisations of Jews in general do I know writing this post to tell you understand is pointless. Yes. For whatever reason you are stubbornly determined that you are right. I can only assume that your utter determination to misrepresent what I write is because I dared to appear to disagree with you months ago. Maybe you are a vain and stubborn man who is used to having power and cannot abide people challenging that powerin which case all your references to how hard you worked to avoid or solve conflict was based on the thought of you as the hero. You were the one who sailed in on a white charger and fixed things. You liked people being grateful to you. It gave you a sense of purpose well the only way you can achieve that now is to get off hotcopper. Maybe do something fun with the community, or volunteer to help Palestinians over there somehow. Or see if you can find a way to build a bridge. why does it matter to you so much

Lets start a new thread on the definition of antisemitism from its first usage of the word, onto to it evolution towards it latest definition being incorporated in the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) U bandied it about by accusing most posters not knowing its real meaning! U have accused me of not having an understanding of its meaming. Here is ur chance and justify what is in the IHRA guidelines!
