    In what way is it antisemitic?

    If anything, it’s erasure of the non-Jewish victims of the holocaust.

    No. Also “hell no”. Don’t argue with idiots, they’ll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    That whole comment chain is a trainwreck filled with assumers, “ackshyually”-vomiting users, and frankly I wish that I didn’t read it.

    That said: no, you were not being antisemitic. In that context, by “don’t need to know Hebrew to know the Holocaust was bad”, you’re affirming that the Holocaust was bad, regardless of circumstantial knowledge that you may or may not have (such as knowing Hebrew). The opposite discourse (implying that the holocaust was not a big deal, or that it was good) would be antisemitism.

    The other user’s “ackshyually, Jewish ppl speak lotsa langs!” is correct, but contextually irrelevant. I simply fail to see how associating Hebrew with Jewish people would somehow denigrate them, even if they speak a multitude of languages. The other user is being at the very least disingenuous, if not worse (stupid).

    If they think that the holocaust was in any means okay, they’re the antisemite (+ spitting on several more minorities the nazis tried to get rid of).

    Antisemitism is hostility to, prejudice towards, or discrimination against Jews. A person who holds such positions is called an antisemite. Antisemitism is a form of racism. Antisemitism has historically been manifested in many ways, ranging from expressions of hatred of or discrimination against individual Jews to organized pogroms by mobs, police forces, or genocide. Although the term did not come into common usage until the 19th century, it is also applied to previous and later anti-Jewish incidents.

    Maybe to the Samaritans?

    I don’t think it is, but I would ask a Jewish person to make sure. Where is Jonah Hill when you need him!?!?

    Oh, he just went to go get some milk, he should be back quick.

    It’s people from Hexbear… From what I’ve seen, you can’t expect anything other than this from them. Just don’t engage them.

      Do they differentiate themselves between leftists/communists and actual authoritarian tankies? Or do they consider themselves the latter?
