You've certainly called me an antisemite, the only person in this forum to get that honor, according to you.

And the trigger is not praise for the Israeli left and human rights organizations, but flagging Israeli violations of international law.

Let's clear this up then. You are ok with acknowledging/criticizing actual Israeli war crimes. 

Doing so does not make people antisemitic, right?  But perhaps doing so is "apologizing" for Hamas, and THAT is antisemtic?

A non-deflector who doesn't lie should be able to clear this up with some direct answers.

Incorrect on every count.  The trigger for this is your persistent, and consistent, criticism of Israel on every level.  Your denial of Israel's right to exist in any form since its reformation.  Your continued mitigation of the actions of Islamic extremists, including ISIS, Hamas and Al Qaeda.  You acknowledgement, via your posts, of the wrongdoings of Israel but barely a peep on the wrongdoings of Hamas and other Islamic fundamentalist extremists.  You even gleefully hijacked a thread about Israeli hostages with this type of tripe, responding "this thread is fine for me" when informed of your deliberate hijacking.  You cloak yourself in erudition and scholarly examination all the while espousing virulent dislike, if not hatred for one side and very little, if any condemnation for the other.  This thread on its own is proof.

You equate Hamas to elements of the Israeli government as equally bad actors.  You equate Hamas to the IDF, only in that case you claim the IDF is worse as they engage in more violent action more frequently.  I don't think most people would need more than one of those admissions, let alone the two you've provided.




Yup.




On its own, no.  But you're conflating what you're doing with only legitimate criticism.  It is not confined to that and it never has been.  Hence your earning your own special "merit" badge.




Most definitely.

Jebus.  A poster admits to calling another poster an antisemite after the new rules say we can't call people NOT on the boards names that might upset other posters?

What's the limit here?
