I'm not calling the situation equivalent at all, but if you someone was calling for the murder of all Russians and someone responded with "That is horrible, but so was the Katyn massacre". How could you construe that as anything but at minimum an attempt to deflect from the hatred in the first place? Why would you even bring it up if you weren't trying to inject it into a conversation? It isn't some random aside and you know that so don't yank my chain, I've seen several people do this several times already. It is never some unrelated massacre or crime, it is always something bad that jews did.

Why does every single thread about jew hatred need to be filled with people talking about bad things a jew did? And would we accept anyone doing this for any other minority group?

Wait, are you saying that this is equivalent to people saying Michael Brown deserved to die Kurska Aug 2014 #30

I'm defending a person where the topic at hand is "all Jews deserve to die"? Aerows Aug 2014 #38

The thread is about all jews deserving to die. Read the OP Kurska Aug 2014 #41

It's what you say for most people here, anti-semitism for many HERVEPA Aug 2014 #35

Not including you, am including many, obviously not naming names. HERVEPA Aug 2014 #45
