The above reply to me from Dr. Hsiung has IMO the grammaticl structure of his statement to have the potential for some others to think that he is saying that to post what could show the tactics that historically have been used to arrouse antisemitic feelings or foster antisemitic feelings is [..post(ing) something antisemitic...].
I am asking you that are interested in responding in this thread that there is a definition of antisemitism that is generally accepted throughout the world, be it by law, or universities, workplaces, communities, etc.
The EUMC has an extensive list of acts that are considered antisemitic. Antisemitic acts that are criminal are defined in countries that have those criminal statutes to be acts that deny the Holocaust or the disemination of antisemitic materials.There are countries where it is criminal for, let's say, a newspaper or television station to distribute antisemitic materials. Criminal acts are those that when the target of the attacks, be it property or a person or persons are percieved to be Jewish. Antisemitic discrimination is the denial to a Jew or Jews of the opportunities or services or anything else that a community offers to others.
Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing or sterotypical allegations about Jews such as collective responsibility for real or imagined acts, accusing Jews of being responsible for a conspiracy.
Advocating the shunning of Jews, applying a double statndard or holding a Jew to a higher standard than others is included in the definition of antisemitism by the EUMC.
I do not believe that I am posting antisemitism by showing content that depicts historical tactics of state-sponsored antisemitism and can not find any article that includes showing that to be to post something antisemitic. If you want to post something to support what Dr. Hsiung has posted here to me as his reply to my request to him for his rationale for allowing content to be posted here that depicts historical state-sponsored racism, while I am prohibited from posting content that couls show hisrorical state-sponsored antisemitism, I am requesting that you do so so that I can have the opportunity to respond accordingly.
