"for having denounced Jim as 'antisemitic'"
My response from the other thread
One of the most distressing features of what is happening in Israel today, is that Israel's supporters use the dead of the holocaust to defend atrocities - they would be turning intheir grave if they had been given the dignity of funerals

" It can be checked on Wikipedia."
Wikipedia is made up of opinions, not researched facts - nothing they put up can be regarded as a definition unless it is backed up by researched facts.
It is my opinion, and that of many others, that Israel's behaviour is in many instances reminiscent of that of the Nazis, in particular their dehumanisation of the Palestinian people (as deplored by you) and their facilitating the Sabra/Shatila massacre (as deplored by just about everybody).
I consider it deeply Antisemitic to attribute such actions to 'The Jews'- do you think they were Jewish actions or those of the regime you have criticised (sort of) yourself?
In order for me, or anybody, to be an Anti-Semite, I would have to take your stance and blame the Jews, as you are doing.
