If one person thinks you're an asshole they might simply be wrong about you. If everyone in the world thinks you're an asshole then you, almost by definiton, are one.

There's a reason why there's a separate word in most languages for "anti-semitism" but not for "anti-italianism" or "anti-brasilianism".

We've banned this account. You can't do this here, and we've warned you before. Not cool.

Eesh, I am not a fan of the modern Israeli state, which I consider to be pseudo-apartheid, but this is straight up anti-semitism.

Surprised to see that here.

Incredibly rare? I am one of them, and my many anti-zionist jewish friends are not anti-semitic either.

I don't deny that anti-semitism exists, but to suggest that a principled opposition to Israel is "extremely rare" is bogus.

I'm unfortunately not surprised - there is a strange "intellectual dark web" bent among the HN crowd, despite it being transparently pseudo-intellectual garbage.

I see you are not even pretending not to be antisemitic. Most antisemites hide under cover of "anti-zionisim".

And to other people reading this, this poster seriously thinks that antisemitism is because "all Jews are assholes". I'm truly shocked to see such things on this site, although maybe I should expect that.

Please don't do this here.
