Helpful list to determine whether you are an antisemite (self-check) (ethics, Jesus)

What makes this thread so interesting is that many responding are strongly drawn to some culture or ism or world view or religion - and respond from that perspective.

You caught it. Now apply it equally.

We are having trouble because all the isms go out the window when we get down to either...

A. It's a violation of the NAP
B. It's not a violation of the NAP

Jews were integral in slaughtering Jews. Jews were integral in saving Jews.

Judaism was meaningless in deciding which side you were on....obviously. You either refuse to initiate force or embrace using force.

All must choose.

So, Jews historically have a penchant for haggling for the lowest possible price, and to point out that historical fact is "anti-Semitism?"

Acronyms are problematic.

Non-aggression principle?
Nazi action plan?

I would argue that it falls under the category of ignorance rather than evil. But, yeah.

The fact that you even think that Jews have "a penchant for haggling for the lowest possible price" reveals your antisemitism.

How would it be if I were to say that "blacks have a special skill for being lazy"? That's not a racist attitude?

People in general do that.

Capitalists do it morally.

Socialists do it immorally.

We all must choose.

And to add.....contrary to the antisemitic stereotype that Jews are cheapskates, they are among the most giving - contributing generously to both religious and secular causes. It's one of our values.
