Apologies for doubting you. I still think those lines BTA posted are examples of antisemitism, but in that post all I saw was extreme clumsiness. I've been at DU and mainly the I/P forum for a long time, and tbh some of the anti-Semites who've had short stays there don't tend to announce they're not antisemitic etc. they just get straight into spewing the nasty stuff.

This is going to be a YMMV thing, but after the Bondi massacre and clumsy attempts by the govt to deal with hate speech, I've come to the conclusion that there's an ickky-meter when it comes to recognising antisemitism. I know it when my meter pings and it acknowledges context and intent. But my background that calibrates the meter is very different to that of you or BTA, for example, so I'm not going to judge anyone on the Left for disagreeing with my take. If they're MAGats it's a whole.different story.
