"If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself" is a straight quote from the last paragaraph of the post in question, not a paraphrase or elided excerpt. https://web.archive.org/web/20210602000424/https://www.kamaubobb.com/hidden-blogs/2007/12/if-i-were-a-jew https://web.archive.org/web/20210602000424/https://www.kamau...

It’s not a straight quote if you delete the last four words of the sentence without an ellipsis.

  The only thing I deleted is the period. "If I were a Jew I would be concerned about my insatiable appetite for war and killing in defense of myself." is the entire first sentence of the last paragraph. Again, people can read the linked original post and see for themselves.

    That’s not how this was quoted to claim he’s an antisemite. See this: https://mobile.twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1400065933083877376 https://mobile.twitter.com/StopAntisemites/status/1400065933...

      I did not look at any other source. Again, I am citing the post that got the Google diversity head in trouble, not anyone else's interpretation.

        Well I was commenting on the business insider article that’s linked at the top of this comment thread.
