Naw the evil jewish immigrant wanted the child to bleed out before help could get to her, by the way Palestinians are semites too, are they not?
So how can you tell when a claim or post is antisemitism as opposed to valid criticism of Israel?
1. Is the incident reported factually?
2. Is the incident given context?
3. Are portions of the incident removed or ignored or not presented?
4. Is the motive or intent of the actors assumed or assigned, particularly a negative intent?
5. Is the language used designed to appeal to emotions?
6. Is one of the actors, or the group that the actor belongs, to dehumanized?
7. Is one of the actors labelled broadly and negatively, especially with "hot button" terms?
So let's take a look at your comments in this thread:
Bystanders near the West Bank town of Hebron filmed an Israeli border police officer pushing a wheelchair-bound Palestinian man to the ground on Sunday,
The video footage shows the unidentified officer tipping the Palestinian man out of his wheelchair near the city’s historic Tomb of the Patriarchs. ...
No context. Portions removed.
even disabled people are not safe from these thugs
Appeal to emotion. Assigning intent. Labelling actors (and groups) broadly and negatively (dangerous thugs).
Majed al-Fakhouri, The man in the Wheelchair, had Human instinct to help a bleeding child, unlike the Izzy thug
Dehumanizing Israelis/Jews by comparing the man as having human instinct while the "Izzy thug" does not. Appeal to emotion. Lack of context. Portions removed. Name-calling (Izzy). Labelling actors negatively (thug).
Naw the evil jewish immigrant wanted the child to bleed out before help could get to her
Appeal to emotion. Assigning evil intent. Labelling actors, and group actor belongs to, broadly and negatively.
Yep. Definitely not a valid criticism of Israel. Just plain ol' antisemitism.
