I don't know what to say about your prickly confused paranoia. I have no need to 'slander Jews'. If I were to criticise a Christian fundamentalist would I be 'slandering Christianity'? If I were to criticise a Jihadist would I be 'slandering Islam'. Should I be told to shut up?

Look, the guy you have supported here is open in his support of Kahane and the JDL. That's just the territory you occupy.


Perhaps, then, you can explain what you meant in your post "Apparently, remembering gypsies and other groups 'diminishes the memory' of the holocaust because they were just 'political prisoners'".

It sounds like you were suggesting that that statement is a widely held belief amongst Jews in general. The tabloid article you linked doesn't support that claim. So what exactly is your claim?


Everything 'it sounds like you were suggesting' is in your paranoid head. I was linking to an article. I am not Hitler hiding under your bed. This is Hacker News - where people post links.


So what was your intention, other than to link a barely-related tabloid article?


It was an example of the parents post's mention of the 'oft-forgotten gypsies'.


Presumably then, if your post were misinterpreted as suggesting that a significant proportion of Jews hold that "remembering gypsies and other groups 'diminishes the memory' of the holocaust" then you would be aghast, right?


What's your intention?


To determine whether you were deliberately trying to slander Jews or you merely thoughtlessly linked an article that could easily be misinterpreted.


Why are you harassing me and asking me "do you still beat your wife?" loaded questions?


Sorry if you feel harassed. That is not my intention.

Let me just say that the article and commentary you posted could very easily have been misinterpreted as suggesting that Jews try to minimise the suffering of non-Jews at the hands of the Nazis. I'm sure you didn't mean it to come across this way because it is a very common trope in anti-Semitic thought, and I guess it was an honest mistake on your part. We'll leave it at that.


I don't accept your 'apology'. You are continuing to harass and smear me.


By the way, you didn't answer my question about whether you're aghast by the way your post could be misinterpreted.
