Among the long list of recent antisemitic acts, Paris prosecutors are investigating an incident on October 31, when buildings in the city and suburbs were daubed with dozens of Stars of David.

    Hi friend. English is stupid sometimes, but I assure you that the word “antisemitism” refers exclusively to Jews. Again I know it’s counterintuitive, but that’s just how it is. You’ll experience less friction of you just go with it instead of try to convince everyone that the word means something else. Cheers.

      And the term computers used to only refer to humans that calculated shit for a living. Language evolves away from vagueness. I support them in pushing for the term to be defined more accurately.

      It’s no biggie, I understand the difference, kinda tired of my comments getting clapped though. Especially when the most current one was the most benign. Literally just a pic of a Google definition. Like, I’ve written bluntly anti-zionist comments in the past 3 days and they’re still up, so it’s kinda weird.
