New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemns ‘pure antisemitism’ outside Oct. 7 memorial - Washington Examiner
www.washingtonexaminer.com
Eric Adams called actions by anti-Israel protesters "pure antisemitism."

…blasted those who held up Hezbollah and Hamas flags, both considered terrorist organizations by the United States, as well as protesters who carried a banner saying, “Long live October 7th.”

…one protester said he wished Adolf Hitler “was still here” because “he would’ve wiped all you out.”

    That’s literally why you include quotations of the points of the argument you are addressing…

    Yes, you can agree with certain aspects of an affirmation without agreeing with the entirety of the body of work, and vice versa.

    Also, I don’t particularly trust the mayor of the NYPD to really portray reality free of any biases. It would surprise me if that was ever really said by a real protestor who was there to help the Palestinian cause.

    And even if it was, it’s kinda dumb to label the whole protest as antisemitic because of the opinions of one person.

        No where in the article did it state more than one person claimed that Hitler should have wiped out all the Jews…

        And even if there were more than one person, that still doesn’t make everyone involved In the protest an antisemite.

        Kinda hilarious that you are asking people to adopt a nuanced opinion that separates the actions of Jews from the actions of Israel, despite the state of Israel itself conflating the two. But, you aren’t able to do the same for antisemitic protestors and protestors trying to stop a genocide.

          So I’m accusing someone of saying something they never said, but it’s apparently okay when you do it.

            I mean you substantiated your position several times, unless I was supposed to interpret “More than one. This sounds more like you didn’t read the article.” as anything other than a tacit agreement with the articles sentiment.

            If so, feel free to explain.

              I’ll explain when you acknowledge you implied I said something I did not say, something you accused me of doing.

                Lol, the explanation kinda has a lot to do with determining what you actually meant with your rebuttal.

                I took it as defending the premise of the article itself, which was attempting to paint the entire protest as antisemitic in nature.

                How else am I supposed to “more than one” other than supporting the article?

                I didn’t accuse you of conflating antisemitism and pro Palestine until that particular rebuttal.
