1. No, he did not. The Middle East was not mentioned or even alluded to. The post was entirely about antisemitism on the Fediverse. You are perceiving a connection to Israel which simply is not there, which leads directly into why you are incorrect about the other posts, because

2. Israel is not a part of this discussion, no matter how much you keep insisting it is. It is about antisemitism, which is not caused by or connected to Israel, but is solely caused by people’s attitudes towards Jews, and

3. You are repeatedly trying to tie this conversation to Israel, which allows you to frame it as being about beliefs and politics rather than antisemitism. Whether you realize it or not, this is precisely the tactic used to quash Jewish voices and ignore antisemitism.

Just read the message to which I answered to, ok?

Or better yet: take a screenshot where it shows I answered to the very top comment and not to op's later analysis, and I gladly say that i was wrong.

Read the message to which I commented to.

@iju @littlemiao @serge @Nyme ok, you are correct that I misinterpreted your post as a response to the very first one. I apologize for that confusion.

However, I don’t think that changes anything else about the points that have been made. The post you responded to was pointing out that this discussion has nothing to do with Israel, and being explicit about it because others were dragging Israel into it. Your response was to justify people’s attempts to make this about Israel. As has been pointed out and explained several times, this is problematic, bordering on antisemitic, specifically because this is exactly how antisemites silence Jewish voices and give cover to antisemitism.

Whether it is your intention or not, you are literally using antisemitic tactics to defend antisemitism to Jews bemoaning our experiences of antisemitism.

@josh0 @littlemiao @serge @Nyme

Thank you for acknowledging the error. You're the only one that did :)

And my intention wasn't to defend antisemitism, and I regret if it could be read like that. I did my best to phrase my message to be a digress.

When speaking to a global audience, you never know what context they read any message in. Thus I try to proof my message against wrong readings, but it doesn't work if the onus is just on one participant.
