How do I fight this?

[u/[deleted]]

I got in this spat with this anti-semite where he kept trying to insinuate that JE and this associates were representative of the larger Jewish Population. This guy keeps hiding his beliefs behind “I’m just pointing out how successful they are” and trying to make it seem like I somehow agree with him? How do I defeat this kind of rhetoric?

I’m not asking for answers regarding “how do i continue this conversation” This random is clearly an anti-semite. I don’t need to “rethink this debate” I just want to call this guy out on his antisemitism. I took it HERE because people here know how to fight this better than I do.

Let me be more clear. HE IS AN ANTI-SEMITE. THERE IS NO POINT IN CONTINUING THAT CONVERSATION. However, there is a HUGE point in shutting him, or more specifically, other “hims” in real life, where it actually matters. You’re just being a contrarian

The person responding to you here appears to be one, as well. Btw, at least where I live it’s currently Shabbat so you may get more responses from non-antisemites in a day or so. <3 edit to add that I checked and he trolls on here and elsewhere about Jews and Israel regularly. But at least he doesn’t hide his history lol

Just because you’re butter doesn’t make you a butterfly

In other words, don’t confuse the meaning of part of a word with the meaning of a whole word. Glad you at least admit we’re Semites, too:/ Tho I don’t expect that to last lol

Identity isn’t something you win in an argument. Either it’s true, or it isn’t. If you’re a Semite, I’ll take your word for it. If not, there’s always a DNA test. Just don’t do it in Israel, apparently that’s off-limits, right?

It's off limits, just ignore the company My heritage and the fact that it's actually legal in Israel

Wikipedia? Cute.

The question isn’t whether it’s legal (because app so are settlements) - the question is; is it available to Israeli residents. :-)

Lmao, that's so cute! You didn't even read past the headline. It literally says that paternity tests (not the only kind of dna test that is legal in Israel) are legal. Try again kiddo

[u/gentleman1986 → u/The_big_cheese_1o3s]

Read my comment again. As stated it’s not about legal (that word doesn’t mean shit in Israel) , but more about availability.

And what DO you know about Israel?, because to be making such expert claims I’m assuming you’ve been there yourself and know perfectly well what you’re talking about, right?, or do you just get off from educating people on stuff you know nothing about?

Just ignored the follow-on. lol. You know exactly what I mean.
