I fully agree that the Venn diagram is not a circle.
But given that any slight, no matter how insignificant, no matter against which part of the Venn diagram it was directed, invariably gets labeled "antisemitic", I think people like me can be excused if we express ourselves with less exacting clarity, than the people in the Venn diagram demands.
If the people in the Venn diagram think the distinctions are very important, a good place to start is to use very distinct colors.

- tptacek 5y agoThat's not what's happened here. You used the word "Jew" to describe "citizens of Israel". You have to know that those two words don't mean the same thing, and the history of extrapolating accusations to all Jewish people. The distinction between the two terms is straightforward, and hardly a "hand grenade" as you suggest downthread. I'm struck that you haven't at any point simply said "I misspoke". Did you? This whole subject is a weird tangent from the original post we're discussing, but you seem on this thread to have managed to double down on what you said in 2019. That's hard to ignore.
