Thirty one countries adopt working definition of antisemitism

[shira]

34. But not because of anything Atzmon wrote or said which is clear hate towards Jews.

What do you think he actually means when he claims that burning down a Synagogue could be seen as a rational act?

I think neo-nazi. What the hell do you think? Inconclusive? Maybe anti-Israel? That's pure insanity.

Now I ask you, what do you think about the claim that burning down a Mosque can be seen as a rational act?

Anyway, you're making it difficult for me by bringing up Atzmon, because in order to explain my own view on him, I have to practically defend him - and I don't even like him...

You are defending his hate incitement (burning down a synagogue) right now.

Atzmon alleged that democracy and tolerance are "foreign to the spirit of Jewishness."

You're defending that. I'm a Jew and so are many of my friends and family. That's an attack on all of us, as surely as stating that democracy and tolerance is foreign to the spirit of Islam (referring to all Muslims). That's the type of incitement and filth you defend.

In the article, he posits that Israel benefits from anti-Semitism because it engenders global support for Israel and that Israel therefore engages in behavior toward Palestinians that will spur anti-Semitic reactions, a phenomenon he calls "the Zionist perpetuum mobile."

IOW, antisemitism is the Jews fault and we are deliberately inciting others to attack us. Same attack on Jews as Mahmoud Abbas who claims Zionist Jews allied with Hitler and were therefore responsible for the Holocaust. This is really vile, gutter antisemitism that you refuse to see.

Atzmon alleged that "Jews were responsible for the killing of Jesus" and that Jewish outrage in response to the deicide charge only served to further prove their accountability.

You cannot even see the antisemitic incitement in this. That claim is as bad as stating Muslims are responsible for 911 and terrorism and any Muslim outrage in response to that charge serves as further proof of their accountability. You're deliberately blind to "antipathy and racism against Jews", your very own definition. You have a clear double-standard that allows you to see that very same hate against all other peoples - except Jews. It's THAT double standard - that pinpoint demonization of Jews only that is antisemitic.

QED.
