"unless unwarranted hateful words are used."·····

But that is exactly what Jim, in particular, is constantly doing. Count his uses of "Nazi" -- the very 'hateful word' in relation to Israel which JohnSunCo's cited declaration, not from any obscure quango but from the elected government of a leading western nation, devotes a separate paragraph to specifying as 'hateful'. And then poor old persecuted Jim gets all touchy & hoity and full-of-hate and denouncing us all as 'squalid' when called on it.

Who's the "twit"!?


You are, for deliberately and mischievously conflating "hateful" with "antisemitic". You have committed a grievous logical error by so doing. For the record, I do no such thing: I've distanced myself from Jim's occasional forms of words (which can be a bit too passionate for me, though not "hateful", in my view) whilst clearly discerning that they do not amount to antisemitism. Remove the fog of Islamophobia from before your eyes and you'll discern the same thing. Only you probably don't really want to, do you?
