It should be a crime to not punch a nazi.
And where do you legally put the line?
I don’t. I don’t make laws.
Neither does the ADL for that matter.
But generally, it’s understood that
Criticism of the Israeli government is not antisemitism. The Israeli government is not a race anymore than Hamas is.
However… if you need a specific “line” because you’re an asshole, in the us, the “legal line”… is pretty easy to find. the FBI defines a hate crime as:
Seems pretty easy to say “don’t commit hate crimes against Jews”, right? Or, any one else for that matter.
Nazis are not a race either. They are generally the ones pushing hate crimes, though, and yes, I can have me feeling that punching a Nazis is a good thing while recognizing it’s also assault.
As for whose a Nazi… when they admit to it, or do and say things that are blatantly Nazi-things. Interesting, that Einstein and other jews called Herut (political party that came from the Irgun paramilitary group during the Palestine Mandate) a bunch of Nazis. (This is why I added the antisemitism stuff and hate crime stuff at the start.)
Well, buzzwords are a thing, and that's the danger
Oh, guess you can just claim everyone you dislike supports it and beat them up
Says the guy calling anyone who doesn't actively support a genocide conducted by the Isreali government "antisemitic."
Totally equivalent to beating people up or targeting businesses
Yes much like being critical of a government guilty of murdering thousands of children makes you "antisemitic"
Should I remind you who started this?
Don't worry then, Nazi
If you're gonna lower the conversational level that much, I'm gonna have to say "no ur mom"
Nazis didn't do it for religion either
Like, they didn't care if you left Judaism, you'd still be a Jew to them
"They didn't do it for religion" but "you're still a Jew to them?" Is Judaism a religion or is it not?
Yes Judaism is a religion but being "Jewish" isn't. It's an ethno-religion. There are actually quite a few atheist Jews in the world.
Being Jewish doesn't actually necessitate you practicing Judaism. You can actually take a DNA test and prove if you are Jewish, but no DNA test can prove if you go to Temple.
So to answer you question. Yes and no, depending on what you're asking.
It wasn't for them, as I fucking said you moron
Can't you fucking read?
Sorry I guess I don't speak Nazism well enough to understand your comment.
Or maybe you have 0 reading skills, since it's quite easy to understand, dumbass
So it is antisemitic? Because I'm pretty sure punching a Nazi is a crime absolutely everywhere.
