I had hoped that most of us here in the U.S. were getting past that shit. I do sense that while it has always been here, it strengthens at times, particularly as conflict escalates between Israel and the Palestinians. As for the protesters you mentioned, I agree that they should have ejected the dickheads, if possible, from their protest.

Never having attended a protest, I don't know how hard it would be do confront the dickheads. I would like to think I could.

It's rife in our political system ck4829 Apr 22 #1

You can also be pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel and not be antisemitic. Eko Apr 22 #2

Also true. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #3

I dont see how it shows that. Eko Apr 22 #4

Surely you are jesting! Beastly Boy Apr 22 #7

I think you are missing the big picture. Eko Apr 22 #9

I think you are missing the point. The pellucidly obvious one. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #12

Huh. Eko Apr 22 #16

No, this is what you are saying about what I am saying. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #19

That is not what you said at all. Eko Apr 22 #21

Oh goody, tell me more about what I said! Beastly Boy Apr 22 #24

I did, it was pretty easy. Eko Apr 22 #26

Here, Ill make it easier. Eko Apr 22 #23

I will make it even simpler. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #29

It doesnt. Eko Apr 22 #30

They're up because of the genocide HereForTheParty Apr 22 #5

Absolutely right, they count anti-Semitic signs and chants as anti-Semitic incidents, they don't make excuses for them. tritsofme Apr 22 #6

What is interesting is that poster's failure to see what they actually admitted to. Behind the Aegis Apr 22 #14

Anti-semitism IS up due to the genocide (at least according to the IRHA definition used by ADL). AloeVera Apr 24 #59

Anti-Semitism is up to due to anti-Semites. Behind the Aegis Apr 24 #60

Anti-Semitism is... AloeVera Apr 24 #61

Anti-Semitism doesn't need to be 'splained to a Jew. Behind the Aegis Apr 25 #62

Only antisemitic signs and chants. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #8

Exactly. The ADL report is questionable. AloeVera Apr 24 #35

Not surprising that the extreme left Jewish Currents has an issue with the IHRA definition of antisemitism. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #42

Probably lumping in criticism of Israel as automatically antisemitic alarimer Apr 22 #10

Probably not. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #13

Agree Meowmee Apr 22 #11

I don't really consider the ADL to be a credible source like I used to AZProgressive Apr 22 #15

They have the numbers. You have suspicions. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #17

Not sure about their ablilty to see antisemitism. Eko Apr 22 #18

They've been doing it for over 100 years. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #20

The exact amount of time it takes to see someone do a nazi salute and read the ADL said it was a awkward gesture. Eko Apr 22 #22

A couple of seconds and a tweet vs over 100 years. Beastly Boy Apr 22 #25

Do you think their judgement on that was correct? Eko Apr 22 #27

People change. Eko Apr 22 #28

They are doing exactly that. AloeVera Apr 24 #32

According to your opinionated extreme left source Beastly Boy Apr 24 #53

Further... AloeVera Apr 24 #34

In doing what? Accepting the most authoritative definitionof antisemitism? Beastly Boy Apr 24 #55

Anti-Israeli government is NOT anti-Semitic. Just ask some Israelis who live there. Jit423 Apr 22 #31

Not approving of the actions and policies SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #33

It is not, and clearly, it did not figure into ADL report in any way. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #36

Having seen several interviews SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #37

Having seen the ADL report which is the subject of this thread, Beastly Boy Apr 24 #38

You're free to believe SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #40

Ditto. Regardless of the conclusive statistics included in the ADL report. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #41

Again SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #43

Again, my belief or yours has no bearing on the math in the ADL report. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #44

Whatever you say SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #45

I say it doesn't matter what I say. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #46

I'm just saying SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #47

Totally unrelated to this thread then, right? Beastly Boy Apr 24 #48

You don't need anyone's SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #50

I still appreciate it, especially as it has nothing to do with this thread. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #51

No need to appreciate anything SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #52

I understand this, but I can't help it. It's not every day that I am reminded, for no particular reason, Beastly Boy Apr 24 #54

Good SocialDemocrat61 Apr 24 #56

A lot of defending antisemitism in this thread Mountainguy Apr 24 #39

Disappointing but no longer surprising. DavidDvorkin Apr 24 #49

Don't worry- Trump will put an end to anti-semitism Redleg Apr 24 #57

I worry. Beastly Boy Apr 24 #58

Well, there is the historical fact of anti-Semitism Redleg Apr 28 #63
