I'm with you in general, but what do these two comments in this thread have in common?
- Wherever a Jew goes he makes that place worse.
- Anti-zionism is a form of antisemitism
They're both stupid, untrue and intended to shut down the conversation. I think they both deserve downvotes.
- names_are_hard 5y agoI disagree. The first comment generalizes the members of a religious/ethnic group and is hateful. The second is an (incorrect, IMO) idea that is commonly believed by supporters of a political movement that has sought take ownership over Judaism. There is very little discussion to be had about the first, but there is room to debate the second. But maybe this is a reflection of my own biases - the first statement offends me personally and makes me want to walk away from the conversation while the second just sounds wrong and makes me want to engage.
- jjgreen 5y agoAppreciated. HN is one of the few places this can be discussed without descent into abuse.
