Somebody above (or perhaps it was on the simultaneous Islamic Radical thread) ,whom I have indicated my intention of refusing to converse with directly as a result, became hysterically abusive of me for having denounced Jim as 'antisemitic'. I have long conversed with Jim on various topics; and among other things I persuaded him some years ago to agree to desist from using the word "Nazi" in relation to Israel; pointing out that such a procedure had been explicitly named as an example of antisemitism by the declaration of the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (now Fundamental Rights Agency), who published a working definition of antisemitism, in 2005. He promised as a result that he would never again indulge in such a usage.

But in contravention of this promise, he continues to do so -- see his last post. I accordingly call this in evidence of my justification in continuing to make this specific accusation against him, so long as he persists in doing this in defiance of an official declaration by a recognised authority specifically appointed for the purpose of such definition by the European Union.

Please note, all whom it may concern, that I will desist from calling Jim "antisemitic" just as soon as he again forswears this habit of his of denouncing Israel as a "Nazi" entity; and then sticks to such a resolution, as he has failed to do on several recent occasions.

Until then, I say again, with the authority of the Fundamental Rights Agency behind me: he is, I much regret to say, an antisemite; and it is no use trying to denounce me for drawing attention to this incontrovertible fact.
