re: #779 Aceofwhat?

We’ll look to our Jewish friends to tell us if we’re slurring, thanks, since slurring is not our intention.

Seems like an odd place for you to stake your defense of Jews. I’d maybe start by condemning antisemitism more vociferously when I encountered it…but that’s just me…

I’ve never NOT defended Jews here, Ace. I’ve disagreed on Israeli policy, but as I’ve said many times, I don’t equate people’s government with their religious beliefs. If they wish to equate themselves, their religion, and government policy as all being one and the same, that’s their perogative.

And it wasn’t even about Judaism so much as it was using a religion, ANY religion, as part of a slur. Hindu-hater, Catholic-hater…granted, they’re not used expressions, but they’re no different.
