Why do people on here lash out so intensely when they are told something is antisemitic? Like they take it so personally

@gavi Because they've convinced themselves they're the antiracist ones even though they've carved a big, giant, jarring antisemitism exception out for themselves and their political movements.

@acarson @gavi Not only that. They have their buzzwords like racism, fascism, nazi etc., but they apply it to everyone but themselves. Racism against black people is bad, but according to them, racism against white people is good. The same with antisemitism, the same with rightwing people or even leftwing but disagreeing with them. I have a French-speaking leftwing person who is pro-Israel. Of course he is a fascist according to them.

@menelion @acarson @gavi It’s not so much racism against white people is accepted as good. It’s defining racism as something that White people do to non-white people. And only that.
