Zone1 Antisemitism is...

[GLASNOST]

Do yourself a big favour and put me on "ignore".

You can't express yourself verbally. Shit happens.

OK. I'll put you on ignore instead.

Antisemitism is something primarily exhibited among leftists, liberals, progressives, and Democrats.

And all this time, we were supposed to believe it was a right-wing characteristic.

Go figure.

I had a post removed from a thread earlier today for violating the antisemitism. policy. I was advised to learn what it is.

Now we have an antisemitism policy too? Who woulda thunk. Maybe we just need a USMB User Manual with annual software upgrades. I prefer softback.

I had a post removed from a thread earlier today for violating the antisemitism. policy. I was advised to learn what it is. I didn't think I'd posted anything antisemitic. Maybe it's me. But mybe not. I'd like to see what others think it is.

Maybe it would have been nice for you to include the actual definition:

Anti-semitism is defined as the prejudice and discrimination against people who are ethnically or religiously Jewish, because they are Jewish.

This hostility can take a number of different forms; among them are cultural, economic, and racial anti-semitism.

Anti-semitism may be explicit and violent in nature, or more subtle, such as the numerous, insidious conspiracy theories that have blamed Jews for everything from poisoning wells and killing Jesus, to exerting control of the news media and banking industries.​

I did not even know what antisemitism was until Jerry Seinfeld's Uncle Leo taught me.

 

[luiza]

Deserved Fear of the most dangerous group of people that this planet has ever experienced .
A group which is now clinically extremely ill and out of balance and endangers the rest of the planet .
imho .

Your poll just proved that you do not know what anti-Semitism is.

Yeah but to be fair, neither does our most prolific poster who claims to be Jewish. To her, anything & everything that is not explicitly pro-Jewish/pro-Israel constitutes antisemitism, including abject indifference.

That's the elephant in the room. In any room.

You may as well ask what a woman is

It is whatever the DNC wants it to be

And guess what, it is NEVER them!

Merriam-Webster is concocted and produced in a country that give you phrases such as "know im sayin'" and "you be bad" and "we dont be dissing nobody" and "irregardless". But never mind all of that. Just use your intelligence to know what a Semite is. When you understand that then the rest is easy. Like basically you know im sayin’ in terms of whatever.

You are saying I should have used a dictionary from your country? No. Actually I use OneLook. It simultaneously give results from about 25 English dictionaries (US or British based), including slang, business or tech specific, etc. Webster is just one of my favorites.

I am impressed. But you know that silly definition is garbage. You know what a Semite is. I know what a Semite is. So don't let the Zionists re-define the English vocabulary.

Interesting. I never heard of it. I have a pocket dictionary from the 60s and a Webster's hardback unabridged dictionary behind me on the shelf, but haven't used them in years, seldom needing to look up the spelling or meaning of anything being rather well read, a published author and professional writer and a fairly good word smith.

I am impressed. But you know that silly definition is garbage. You know what a Semite is. I know what a Semite is. So don't let the Zionists re-define the English vocabulary.

A Semite is a somewhat archaic term now originally meant to refer to the Semetic people of the general Levant region.

Perhaps you can spot the hatred in this

Jews are the only people on the planet who want it to be illegal to dislike them. They're also the only people on the planet who torture children, so...

This is what was removed

 

[Street Juice]

Try this:

anti-Semitism​

noun​

hostility toward or discrimination against Jews as a religious, ethnic, or racial group
Definition of ANTISEMITISM

OK, then this was wrongly removed:

So, plain ol' bigotry, but special because it is directed at a Jew.

Hmmm. Zionist.
Zionist ˈzī-ə-nist adjective or noun

Zionism​

: an international movement originally for the establishment of a Jewish national or religious community in Palestine and later for the support of modern Israel

Out of all the different returns for definition on OneLook of the many dictionaries, that includes all the biggest, only down at the bottom an obscure slang dictionary, listed it as an insult. I guess you have to be in the click, that uses it for that, or the click that does not have access to the most accepted definition, to receive it as an insult. Common dictionaries are the basis for common language and common usage, so I go with the common definition, not the obscure, chosen by bigits and paranoids, as I do not travel day to day in those circles.

I was born America attending Methodist and Baptist churches multiple times a week for one reason or another, youth groups, choirs, etc, graduating from a scholastically tough Baptist University, taking Old and New Testament (foolishly thinking these would be easy subjects to satisfy requirements for religion subjects) with my extensive upbringing in the bible, managing to escape one of these with one of the 3, "C" grades in my entire scholastic career. The Jewish thing, pro and con is not my strong suit, nor is my understanding of why God chose them, nor why they repeatedly turned their backs, before coming back, but I do not deign to shake my fist a God for the choosing. At the same time, I thoroughly accept the decision and settled law and treaty of making them a country in the place, known as Israel, and totally support their right to exist and fight their annihilation, as well as fighting for the security of their people against all comers.

If that makes me a Zionist, by the definition, so be it.

Not exactly. Specifically bigotry directed at Jewish people for being Jewish. Thats the definition.

Is that really special? Do you wish that you were special?
