In reply to the discussion: Anti-Semitism: One Jew's perspective about recent events (long read) [View all]Behind the Aegis
(56,348 posts)Because the only time I have ever seen anyone "broaden" the actual definition of the word is to distract from the group which is targeted, Jews. It isn't a matter of trying to "draw attention to discrimination against Arabs" but rather a method to draw attention away from the actual victims, Jews.
"You are accusing a specific group of people, Arabs who seek to be included in the definition of "anti-Semitism", not only of falsely using language, but of being bigots. I wonder why."
This is known as a "strawman argument", a logical fallacy. At no point did I ever say anything like what you are claiming. You simply created your own narrative, then declared yourself "correct" and further try to impugn me as the actual bigot.
"As for blaming the victim: So you would agree that invoking white supremacy to justify attacks on cops in the US is wrong? "
Are you for real?! Seems anti-Semitism isn't the only thing for which you are struggling to understand, or rather, obfuscate.
