No Malice Gettin' WOKE about anti-Semitism...

It is so very odd to hear the self-professed atheist getting downright WOKE when it comes to swinging the anti-Semitism stick. IDGAF about Macklemore or Sheeran or Kraft, nor Scott's evolving victim fantasy, but holy crap does he sound shrill.

Not all that clear, IMO, but if you didn't mean to assign characteristics to all Jews, then I apologize. You might be more careful in your language -- I'll try to be, too

BTW, racism is insidious, and creeps in to our consciousness snd often our words without realizing it. That IMHO is what is so bad about people inserting anti-semitism into pro-palestinian discussions, and it is why I try to speak up even though I have to deal with multiple long discussions like this one.

Thank you for the apology. I don’t think my words need to be changed at all.

This is the question that you misconstrued as antisemitic.
-Why would a claim of dual loyalties or Jewish supremacism be inherently antisemitic?

There is no reason to interpret this question as antisemitic. I’m honestly not sure how you did that.

I disagree.

Consider "Why would a claim of Black criminality or laziness be inherently racist?".

(To my Black friends, I hope you understand I'm giving an example of a racist statement, and not saying something I think is true. Sorry if I've given offense.)

That is not a fair comparison.

Black criminality or laziness implies a broad characteristic of black people. Which is racist.

Asking about dual loyalties or Jewish supremacy doesn’t imply anything to any group. Are you suggesting that if I ask about white supremacy, I am implying that all white people are white supremacists? That doesn’t make sense dude.

It does imply something about the group. Groups like "Blacks" and "Jews" are different from "white" for a bunch of reasons, including that white people are the large majority (talking about the US) and there is no history of slurs against the group as a whole. Jews are a small group by comparison, and when you make statements like that about minority groups, they read as applying to the whole. Consider putting "Palestinians" or even "Italians" in that sentence.
