    When you’ve become accustomed to using rhetoric that makes you indistinguishable from an antisemite, you have a couple of ways to go.

    1. Do some introspection and ask yourself “am I going down a bad path?”
    2. Do zero introspection and conclude “This is more evidence that the Jews really do control the world!”

      No… It’s that Jews openly control Israel. Because their government has a lot of elected officials who are Jews.

      That’s the joke. Then they AI only sees the conspiracy terminology.

      I wish to become antisemite after all they have done in Palestine, but it’s a bit hard when you leave near Aushwitz and everyone around you prefers hating on germans.

      You understand that saying “Jews control Israel” isn’t antisemitic right… Bibi himself constantly repeats that Israel is a Jewish state, the Jewish homeland etc…

      It’s in no way implying the Jews control any other part of the world.

        I understand the statement “Jews secretly control X” fits the pattern of how antisemites talk. I see many people on this site fitting that same pattern.

        If it walk like a duck, and talks like a duck…

        I also note there’s a broad movement to discredit any claim of antisemitism before it even happens. What’s the goal of this?

          My man doesn’t understand the concept of satire and parody

          If you take something anti-Semites would say and you take it to a point of absurdity that’s MAKING FUN OF ANTI-SEMITES not being one. Jeez you Zionists sure are sensitive bunch for a group of people who support war crimes, killing babies, and raping prisoners.

            There’s a saying in Jamaica: If you throw a stone at a group of pigs, the one that squeals is the one you hit.

            I mention antisemitism and now you’re doing a whole lot of squealing about it.
