There is one poster in particular on this board who likes to mention that Arabs are Semites every time accusations of anti-semitism arise, though s/he never claims that anti-semitism doesn't exist, but still feels compelled for some reason to point that fact out.

Don’t define my antisemitism! shira Mar 2016 #1

The author of the OP needs a lesson in logic. Little Tich Mar 2016 #3

You obviously didn't read the OP too well. It's about Israel hating degenerates.... shira Mar 2016 #4

If an accusation of anti-Semitism is groundless, it's possible that it was leveled in bad faith. Little Tich Mar 2016 #5

There are universally accepted definitions of antisemitism that BDS trolls... shira Mar 2016 #6

I thought that definition had been withdrawn because it was faulty. Little Tich Mar 2016 #7

I gave you a no-brainer KKK, neo-Nazi style example of Jew hatred. You punted. Why? shira Mar 2016 #8

Are we arguing about the definition of anti-Semitism or examples of anti-Semitism? Little Tich Mar 2016 #9

In this case, an example. Hamas constantly dehumanizes Jews as apes, pigs.... shira Mar 2016 #10

I have a nagging suspicion that you're trying to erode the definition of what anti-Semitism is, Little Tich Mar 2016 #11

You're avoiding having to call out BDS for being racist Hamas supporters.... shira Mar 2016 #12

Hamas is primarily an oppressive religious organization that is the de facto government in Gaza. Little Tich Mar 2016 #13

You're still deflecting. BDS supports Hamas resistance against Jews. shira Mar 2016 #14

You wrote "it's clear that Hamas is an anti-Semitic organization...". shira May 2016 #15

It's not so simple. Little Tich May 2016 #16

No, it is that simple. Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews & everyone knows that. shira May 2016 #17

Explain how it's possible to support the KKK or Nazis and not be a Jew hater. shira May 2016 #18

Do you really think that the people in Gaza voted for Hamas because they were seen anti-Semites and Little Tich May 2016 #19

Your goysplaining antisemitism is ridiculous. Supporting Hamas is no better... shira May 2016 #20
