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"
