I want to commend the moderators for their work on the Report threads. Managing comments during enhanced escalation events is a major task, especially while trying to keep up with DWS updates.

Personally, I stick to the reports and rarely check the discussion threads, as I can find opinions and 'armchair quarterbacking' on social media or the news.
 
anti-Semitism
/ˌan(t)ēˈseməˌtizəm/
Antisemitism is prejudice, hatred, or discrimination directed against Jews, both as individuals and as a group, often based on conspiracy theories, negative stereotypes, or hostility toward Jews as a people or Judaism as a faith. It can manifest through ideological, verbal, or physical attacks, including holocaust denial and delegitimizing the State of Israel.

Actually, no, of course there are sometimes a few clashes, especially in universities because these institutions house Muslims and Jews.

As for pollution in general, it's fairly calm.

As for racism, of course it exists, but it's a minority.

anti-Zionism is simply antisemitism dressed up to be politically correct. A Zionist is someone who believes that the Jewish people are indigenous to the land of Israel and that the State of Israel has the right to exist. 95% of Jews are Zionists. The small minority that don't believe in the modern State of Israel still believe in the IDEA of a modern Jewish state in Israel. -- they just think the Messiah is supposed to arrive before it can come about; they still cite Israel in their prayers and end each Passover Seder with "Next year in Jerusalem!"
 
Considering facts presented here as to the topic issue , i firmly beleive i have the right to announce i personally do not like netanyahu as an individual regardless of back ground, race, sex, religion etc etc. Just because i say i don't like him dosn't automatically place me in the bracket of said topic. I simply disagree with his actions and use of position he currently holds. Even a portion of the israeli population feel the same way. A portion of populations in other countries don't like their own leaders and portions of of populations don't like other countries leaders for the same reasons. Nothing to do with this type of branding. Individuals have the right not to like someone without it or the reason being branded or boxed as anti - group anything. I don't like netanyahu .........
Eg. Some here announce dislike to PUTIN , XI,KIM ETC.
yet nothing announced in similar fashion ? 🤔🙄
Bias?
Dystopian ?

Thank you for your response.
 
I will try to be even handed so I will have to be anti-sematic, anti-Islam, anit-west, anti-communist, anti-asian, anti black and anti-white. Hell I just make it easy and simply hate everyone. That is the way some people seem to operate but hopefully everyone will realise I am not serious but just indicating how ridiculous discrimination of any form can be.

Stating you dislike a world leader or politician due to their policies and actions is fine and does not by itself qualify as anti-semitism. However, if the dislike is expressed in such a way that it indicates hatred just because of religious beliefs, that would cross a line in my opinion.
