In response to a moderator request to take it to the BBQ Pit: [Jewish Dopers: Have you ever watched the film "Defamation"? - Great Debates - Straight Dope Message Board](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=593493) RedFox has decided to accuse anyone who believes anti-Semitism exists at all, ever, of being an agent of the Israeli government. His response to a request to discuss anti-Semitism in the U.S. and Europe is to crow that he is correct in his assertion that anti-Semitism is, 100% of the time, an accusation used against those who do not “toe the line” of Israeli infallibility. The fact that neither the thread, nor any posters in it, nor the film that is the subject of the OP, were previously defending or discussing Israel does not deter him (nor, for what it’s worth, do any moderators seem interested in deterring his bigoted comments). This is the typical position of both the far left and the far right: turn every discussion of Jews into a discussion of Israel; refuse to let the two subjects diverge; hold all Jews responsible for Israel’s actions; defend every anti-Semite, no matter what they say or do, as a legitimate protestor of Israeli policy; then, insist that it is only the other side that conflates criticism of Israel with anti-Semitism and play the censorship card. ---

Do you mean RedFury? I don’t see any RedFox in that thread. ---

1. That’s not his name. 2. He didn’t say this: > [@](#): > > anti-Semitism is, 100% of the time, an accusation used against those who do not “toe the line” of Israeli infallibility. Otherwise, good post. ---

The thread is 2 pages long. You need to link to the offending post so we can judge for ourselves. ---
