That was not my claim. I specifically said he was being a hyperbolic dick to troll. From my first post:

I just disagree that trolling the particular group he set out to troll constitutes antisemitism, to any degree.

And since we’re in the Pit : fuck off with thinking your very poor readings of any of my previous posts on particular racists have any relevance here. You’re not going to catch me in whatever pseudo-logical gotcha you were attempting, because my stance is consistent. But do feel free to try it on here in the Pit, where I can give your personalizing of the argument all due reverence…
