    Pointing out that anyone who makes it possible to burn children alive is not antisemitic

    A government that commits genocide and hides behind the terrible memories of historic genocidal antisemitism to justify their actions … is antisemitic

      the next likely dnc presidential candidate signed a congressional resolution defining antisemitism as anything related to acts committed by the nazis; including burning children alive.

      so, according to aoc; the american gov’t; and germany: yes, it is antisemitic

        Anyone and any government can make up any law, rule, regulation they want … it still doesn’t justify genocide nor does it determine what is antisemitic or not.

        If they make a law that says the sky is not blue … it doesn’t mean the sky has stopped being the colour blue

          it does for the “rules based international order” crowd and they’re a very overwhelming majority.

            …the fact that this was the case until Israel exposed itself shows you really can’t just go along with majority opinion on any issue. You need to think for yourself. Ignore what the crowd says. Ignore people who scream at you for disagreeing with their position. Look at the raw facts as free from your own cognitive biases as you are able, and have the courage to stand on your own if necessary.

              Let’s see if these wise words will be just as derided in the next election as they were in the last
