Looking more and more like it was the result of sabotage by a rogue Mossad agent called Eli Kopter
Iran has released a transcript of the cockpit recordings:

Pilot: We might have to try an emergency landing on that mountain.

Copilot: On the mountain?! What is it??

Pilot: It's an elevated land mass that projects conspicuously above its surroundings, but that's not important right now.

He's right though, comparing the genocidal actions of the Israeli state with the Nazis is offensive.

It would be more useful to point out that Zionist ideology elevates one race/religion beyond all others and that is a hallmark of fascism.

Never forget, fascism doesn't start with the concentration camps. That's where it ends.

I agree with your last 2 paragraphs, but only Israel would get the protection Admin has afforded it

If I were to call the Russians the N word, I guarantee that would be acceptable.

Remember the old Voltaire saying " to find out who rules over you, find out who you're not allowed to criticize". Or words to that effect

I'll leave it there

"Israel secretly run the unofficial Leyton Orient message board" is a pinnacle of this thread.

The quote COYOs attributes to Voltaire is actually from a neo-nazi as well

But I’m sure that’s just a coincidence given he posted it in response to antisemitic content being removed :roll:

I’ve done neither. I’ve asked that offensive comparisons aren’t used. Neither post removed added anything to any debate.

The IHRA working definition of antisemitism begs to differ

In other news, maybe reflect on the fact you’re quoting neo nazis

Go read the IHRA definitions of anti-semitism.


Quote from it: Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

I’d stop now as you’re making yourself look a bit silly (again). I understand it’s an emotive subject and I’m no supporter of Israel’s actions but I’m not resorting to using anti-Semitic tropes to express my view.

The guy that drew up the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism, wasn't happy with it, and disowned it.
I have the article somewhere.
When I find it I'll post it
It confuses anti Semitism with anti Zionism

1400 Jewish American professors have petitioned for it to be removed for that very reason

I'll post a lot of stuff that discredits the IHRA definition tomorrow when I find it

Anti Zionism is legal and allowed (except on this board it seems)

Ok, I said id post a lot of stuff that questions the Ihra definition of anti semitism, and the links below from all over the place, including Jewish authorities explain why that definition is flawed
Basically, the IHRA definition of antisemitism simply protects Israel from justified criticism, it stifles free speech
The links below explain it well

Quite funny seeing some boarders still standing firm despite COYOs being right on most stuff regarding Israel in this thread.
