ADL identifies 4.2 million anti-Semitic tweets from 3 million accounts last year

Do you apply this idea to all nation states which include such an idea or is this a double standard?

“Discarded” gets to the heart of the matter and this goes back far beyond the Holocaust. There’s enough history of this going back very far and even now (social media posts about “Hitler didn’t finish the job” and so on) that it isn’t a matter of interpretation.

You may also recall @jlw posting this one a while back

How do we “interpret” the desire for Judenfrei environments in 2018 differently than in 1948?

That can’t be pinned on the current government as these controversies go back to the first organized efforts to return to our homeland in the 19th century.

I’ve never disagreed but let’s be clear about the difference between actual criticism (as per my previous comments) and emotional response, rage or baseless hate. Really how often does any of this “criticism” address any actual government polices or actions outside of land use? Also I might be strange but I kind of expect critics to have a minimum understanding of the topics they address.

As an example of quality criticism take a look at Operation Opera

This fits well with the basic Clausewitz concept of war being an extension of politics and the article goes into the Begin Doctrine, it’s plusses and minuses and how this specific operation though an operational success may be also understood as having counterproductive results. Also interesting that it sets the legal precedent for pre-emotive strikes in current military law.

Compare this as criticism with what is in the ADL report, the Op-Ed in the press that poses as reporting or even what’s in this very thread.
