I'm a nonverbal autistic.

I mean, go off with your conspiracy theory that's not supported by your link, I guess.

My dad was born in the 30s, and was just as autistic as me. His mother (born 1910) died when I was little, but I remember her being eccentric, and my mother called her "difficult". They both lived perfectly normal lives, they were just very different from the others around them. I'm autistic and so is my nephew; that's four generations, spanning a century.

We have always been here.

Or people could have been autistic all along, and just not diagnosed?

Israeli Arabs are Israeli citizens, they aren't usually considered Palestinian.

Kindles are great devices and they're subsidised, so they're cheap. It's perfectly possible to use them on e.g. permanent airplane mode. You don't even have to buy books from Amazon, if you use Calibre.

That said I'll be going Kobo next time because I love buttons.

Goddamn, Harry Kim just can't catch a break.

The proof will be in what your child tells you, when they feel able to do so.

So your position (besides implying that I'm a cheerleader for Netanyahu) is that a good working definition of antisemitism is bad because people misuse it? What's your take on how to counter the very real antisemitism that exists in parts of the anti-Israel movement? Also, I'm sorry, but your quotation is obviously bullshit:

applying double standards by requiring of [Israel] a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation

China is a democratic nation now? Saudi Arabia is a democratic nation? Come on. It's obvious what that means, and it should be obvious why holding Israel to a uniquely high standard among democratic nations, as the definition says, is antisemitic.

I've taken to mending the gnat holes on my tshirts with colourful cross stitch over patches and I feel my life is better for it

Yeah, I thought that was it. The definition is clear that criticism of the Israeli government that's comparable to criticisms aimed at other governments isn't antisemitism. You should be able to criticise Israel in the same terms you criticise (e.g.) Russia and China, or for that matter America and the UK. But if you exclusively criticise Israel in virulent terms, or say that Israel is some sort of uniquely evil entity comparable to the Nazis, or imply that all Jews worldwide are agents of the Israeli state, or say Israel as a nation state should be wiped off the map—that's antisemitic.

This should all be pretty uncontroversial.

Zionists

It's okay, we know you mean Jews.

Is there a reason this article bashes (adjusts glasses, checks) the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance in its opening para?
