Ben White leading the cartwheels at Electronic Intifada oberliner Dec 2013 #1

Except the "working definition" was never official in the first place... Scootaloo Dec 2013 #2

European countries don't need no definition King_David Dec 2013 #3

Must be rough for "anti-racists" who are unable to define antisemitism.... shira Dec 2013 #4

Here's the latest Roger Waters. Is this antisemitic or not? shira Dec 2013 #8

I say the first paragraph is mostly correct, and the second one is confused. Scootaloo Dec 2013 #15

Waters just vilified all Israeli leaders as Jewish supremacists.... shira Dec 2013 #22

No he didn't. Not even a little. Scootaloo Dec 2013 #29

He's saying these Jewish religious supremacists are the very same people.... shira Dec 2013 #33

What he's saying is plainly stated where he says it Scootaloo Dec 2013 #36

Typical. n/t shira Dec 2013 #37

Something we can agree on. n/t Scootaloo Dec 2013 #38

Again, here's where Waters generalizes.... shira Dec 2013 #53

Come on...you deny there's any such thing as a genuinely liberal leftwing zionist.... shira Dec 2013 #65

You're right, I don't condemn shit that you've made up Scootaloo Dec 2013 #107
