Thread Name: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Subject: RE: BS: What does 'anti-semitism' mean?
Steve, The EUMC definition of anti semitism is given in addition to, not instead of, the rather brief "hate crime" definition.
That is the message in parenthesis that you quote.

" The EUMC working definition helps to explain some of the characteristics that may be present in antisemitic hate crime. These include circumstances that amount to hate crimes and those that are likely to be non-crime hate incidents."

Of course the EUMC definition is endorsed. Why else is it quoted?
You should pay particular attention to their statement immediately following the EUMC definition,
"Such manifestations(of anti Semitism) could also target the State of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivist. "

You have repeatedly shown that you are unable to discern anti-Semitism, most recently that of Tonge, when it is clear and obvious to the rest of the world.
It is your definition that is defunct!

Do you find it acceptable for Jim to post very dubious videos purporting to show a tiny number of Jews behaving despicably, and use them to claim that that is what Israel is like?
He wants us to believe such behaviour is typical of Jews and not just a tiny minority, if any.
OK or anti semitic?
