Antisemitismus zeigt sich bei Organisationen wie Amnesty International oft im Verhalten. Man muß nicht antisemitisch denken oder explizt antisemitische Positionen vertreten, um antisemitisch zu handeln.

Someone asked me how to criticize Israel without being accused of anti-Semitism. Here are my four rules of thumb. Try them and you'll quickly see how little you actually know. And how much moralizing stepped in as substitute and turned your critique into emotinal scapegoating.

I remember how shallow the then new CDs of the late 1980s with their 16-bit engineered recordings sounded. No overtones to the harmonic first, a flat sound that forced recording to accentuate the pitches: the highs, the bass-lines, the beat. The sound never felt voluminous.

Over on X, Tom D'Evelyn posted that.
To me it sounds half true. Although I'm not a poetry person, I'd rather say that poetry is a way of thinking through (complex) ambiguities. Utilizing ambiguities, that is.

Exciting! But just because the universe is proven not to be a simulation doesn't mean that the universe is real or that it is proven to be real. ;-)

Don't postulate an "evil" (Hamas) or "corrupt" (PA) regime on the one hand and an "innocent" populace on the other. Just don't. Palestinians do want those regimes. They approve this war by Hamas; they don't want a two-state "solution"; they don't want disarmament of Hamas.

Between 2015 and 2025 Myanmar has been condemned 10 x by the UNGA for its treatment of the Rohingya Muslims and of other minorities. In the same period, Turkey has been condemned exactly 0 x, despite its continuous bombardment of the Kurds in Southeast Turkey, in Iraq and Syria.
