In their media, schools, political institutions - they constantly incite hatred & call for the murdering of all Jews. That's in the Hamas Charter, FFS!

There are literally dozens of videos I could show that explicitly demonstrate this.

Am I to understand that you don't believe that's antisemitic? Or that aiding, justifying and supporting this murderous ideology (as BDS clearly does in the name of resistance) is not antisemitic Jew hatred?

Seriously?

Any sane, rational person would see that Hamas' attitude towards Jews is easily as bad as that of the Nazis or KKK. And that anyone aiding, justifying or supporting KKK, Nazi actions vs. Jews is without question a Jew hater.

So BDS'ers who support Hamas' Jew hating ideology - and actions against random innocent Jews - are just as bad as folks who support the KKK or Nazis against Jews. After all, BDS supports Hamas' ideology against Jews, as well as their actions.

How am I wrong?

I don't think you'd have a problem calling anyone racist for supporting the murder of random Palestinians (lets say by Arab hating Kahanist terrorists). How's that for an ideology? Close enough in this case. So why the double-standard?

If an accusation of anti-Semitism is groundless, it's possible that it was leveled in bad faith. Little Tich Mar 2016 #5

There are universally accepted definitions of antisemitism that BDS trolls... shira Mar 2016 #6

I thought that definition had been withdrawn because it was faulty. Little Tich Mar 2016 #7

I gave you a no-brainer KKK, neo-Nazi style example of Jew hatred. You punted. Why? shira Mar 2016 #8

Are we arguing about the definition of anti-Semitism or examples of anti-Semitism? Little Tich Mar 2016 #9

I have a nagging suspicion that you're trying to erode the definition of what anti-Semitism is, Little Tich Mar 2016 #11

You're avoiding having to call out BDS for being racist Hamas supporters.... shira Mar 2016 #12

Hamas is primarily an oppressive religious organization that is the de facto government in Gaza. Little Tich Mar 2016 #13

You're still deflecting. BDS supports Hamas resistance against Jews. shira Mar 2016 #14

You wrote "it's clear that Hamas is an anti-Semitic organization...". shira May 2016 #15

It's not so simple. Little Tich May 2016 #16

No, it is that simple. Hamas is dedicated to killing Jews & everyone knows that. shira May 2016 #17

Explain how it's possible to support the KKK or Nazis and not be a Jew hater. shira May 2016 #18

Do you really think that the people in Gaza voted for Hamas because they were seen anti-Semites and Little Tich May 2016 #19

Your goysplaining antisemitism is ridiculous. Supporting Hamas is no better... shira May 2016 #20
