- ashirusnw 10y agoIndeed, the term lobbying was used twice and has bad connotations (as well as being inaccurate).
- lacampbell 10y agoSince when was it anti-$ETHNIC_GROUP to talk about an $ETHNIC_GROUP's lobby? Do you accuse people of being "inaccurate" if they mention the China lobby?
- dang 10y agoPlease stop taking this thread (or any HN thread) further into flamewar hell. We've asked you before not to do this.
- lacampbell 10y agoIn that case, just ban me. I've also asked before. As long as I can still post here, I will occasionally debate with people when they take contentious positions I disagree with (esp when they make accusations). I'm not flaming, and you know it. Nonetheless, if you think I'm a problem, just ban me and the problem will be solved. I don't want to be in a place where politics is totally OK to discuss until it's not for arbitrary reasons I can't guess or predict.
- lacampbell 10y agoYour immediate reaction to a non-jewish person having the temerity to talk about how their community suffered from Nazi forces during WW2 was to label them "anti-jewish". That's messed up. The fact that they mentioned "lobbying" doesn't excuse you.
- redsummer 10y agoThere seems to be a strong undercurrent of anti-gentilism from several commenters on this story. The response from admins has been very strange.
- lacampbell 10y agoI'm not sure I see evidence for anti-gentilism. I'll give the benefit of the doubt and say over-sensitivity, or paranoia. But accusations of anti-semitism are being thrown around far too freely. Discussions of non-jewish victims is not anti-jewish, and it should not be shutdown by trying to shame or accuse people.
