  1. Fucking vile. A bunch of useless, corrupt sycophants who couldn’t get the strongest voice against the genocide in Gaza out of office quickly enough.

    Linking antisemitism to criticism of the Israeli state is in fact antisemitic BTW.

  5. It really doesn’t help in the fight against anti-semitism when most criticism of Israel is censored because of ‘anti-semitism’

  6. Israel is a brutal settler colony, it represents the Jewish people as much as the Islamic State represented all Muslims.

  8. Wee bit of context needed.

    >”According to Hamilton, an independent official charged with overseeing transparency laws, the government “stated that it had to be mindful of the need to treat Israel as it would ‘any other democratic nation’, in line with the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of Antisemitism”.

    >He said in a report: “The argued that ignoring Israel’s wishes in circumstances where other countries’ wishes have been respected, could be considered as an antisemitic action under the IHRA definition.”

    Hmm, presumably those questioning the voting of the Eurovision are on the cusp of being anti semitic.

  10. I really really don’t like the Israeli attitude that genocide is a vital part of Jewish cultural identity, and only antisemites would oppose it. The Nazi party believed literally this same thing. It legitimizes hatred against Jewish people.

  11. I feel like we have cause to add a third thing to that old “two things in life are certain” saying.

  12. Scotgov are really risking being on the wrong side of history wi their fear of upsetting cunts.

  13. This is an odd one. On the one hand, if they have, under the same circumstances respected the wishes of other countries and have no reason to treat Israel any different then that is one thing.

    However, is it a good thing that we are respecting the wishes of countries if it means secret meetings are being held by the Scottish Government.

    What exactly is being discussed and why should the public not be aware of it.

  14. The definition of antisemitism has got pretty wobbly in recent years.

  16. SNP have been such a disappointment in oh so many ways.

  19. I feel like just looking at Israel is deemed anti-semetic, the act of witnessing them existing is anti-semetic if you don’t immediately say loud enough “**Israel can do no wrong, I see no problem here**”

  20. Like saying it’s racist to release secret meeting information with China.

  21. It’s like the S.African Pres calling the Boers “cry babies” for escaping racial persecution

  23. It’s interesting how, at one point, Israel claimed to be a state that was not just for Jewish people but for “Arab citizens of Israel” as well. The pretense has been dropped and they make no secret of being an ethnostate.

  24. Hold on a fucking minute, when exactly did this sub pull it’s head out of the sand?

  25. what business do we have with them? what do they want from us? stop keeping secrets

  27. Bizarre headline, as it’s totally out of context.
    Typical Ferrets.

  28. Is the new definition of antisemitism not sucking off netenyahu

  29. Funny that virtually no nationalists outside of a few “cranks” in Alba-type circles dared to criticize the SNP when they sold out and adopted the “IHRA definition of antisemitism” under Sturgeon.

    THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IT IS FOR.
