The Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism would not consider a call to nuke Israel to be antisemitic
Some idiot with a podcast who calls himself Vaush (350K subscribers on YouTube) said that if Israel was destroyed in a nuclear attack, the Middle East would be a more peaceful place.
Here's the moron's video:
I wondered if the desire to annihilate the world's only Jewish state, in the interests of world peace, would be considered antisemitic by the "Jerusalem Declaration on Antisemitism."
Not at all.
The declaration says, "Evidence-based criticism of Israel as a state [is not antisemitic]. This includes its.... policies and practices, domestic and abroad, such as the conduct of Israel in the West Bank and Gaza, the role Israel plays in the region, or any other way in which, as a state, it influences events in the world."
The imbecile hides his hate behind a façade of caring about Palestinians (even though they would be incinerated,) so - according to the geniuses who spent months putting the Jerusalem Declaration together - nothing about condoning the nuclear holocaust of Israel is antisemitic.
A definition is an algorithm, and one can run test cases through the definition to see what it would say for any arbitrary case. Calling Israelis "Nazis" is not antisemitic according to this definition. Calling for the murder of 7 million Jews to eradicate any vestige of Jewish nationalism from the Middle East doesn't fit that definition.
If even one outcome of an algorithm is spectacularly wrong - if 1+1 results in 29 - then it is obvious that the algorithm is fatally flawed. And this is what the Jerusalem Declaration's definition is.
(Although people have quibbled about some boundary cases in my new definition of antisemitism, I have not yet found a flaw in it.)
