Popular Post ozimoron Posted July 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) 9 minutes ago, EVENKEEL said: A US funded lab? Don't know Next time, produce some credible evidence as required instead of regurgitating Tucker Carlson lies / talking points. Theory About U.S.-Funded Bioweapons Labs in Ukraine Is Unfounded Prominent conservative voices have mischaracterized remarks from American officials to amplify baseless claims promoted by Russian state media. There is no evidence to support the claims, which President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine, the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department have all unequivocally denied. There are biological laboratories inside Ukraine, and since 2005, the United States has provided backing to a number of institutions to prevent the production of biological weapons. But Tucker Carlson, the Fox News host, and others have misleadingly cited remarks from American officials as proof that the labs are producing or conducting research on biological weapons. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/03/11/us/politics/us-bioweapons-ukraine-misinformation.html How the false Russian biolab story came to circulate among the U.S. far right "The Kremlin is intentionally spreading outright lies that the United States and Ukraine are conducting chemical and biological weapons activities," U.S. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said earlier this month. He and other officials warn that Russia was working to create pretexts for its attacks on a sovereign nation. The biolab conspiracy theory is an example of how Russian narratives can be seized on and refined by conspiracy theorists in the U.S., who can often spread false narratives far more effectively than Russia's own efforts. https://www.npr.org/2022/03/25/1087910880/biological-weapons-far-right-russia-ukraine Edited July 18, 2023 by ozimoron 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say anything without being called racist or antisemitic. Straight out the Left's playbook for taking away freedom of speech. Of course you can say things without being called racist and anti-semitic.

The above post is garbage. The definition of antisemitic refers only to Jews. Look it up. The theory of the European conversion cited above has been debunked. Not that it really matters if it was true. Genetically Ashkenazi, Sephardic, Mizrahi, Palestinian Arabs, and Italians all have middle eastern markers. Of course RFK Jr is running for US president and talking total BS about Ashkenazi Jews. Most American Jews are indeed Ashkenazi.

No argument on that. In plain English, though, the word “anti-Semitism” means hostility to or hatred of Jews as a group. No amount of semantic trickery on your part can dilute the actual meaning of the word. As for the origins of Ashkenazi Jews, there was a theory floating around that they descended from the Khazars, a proto-Turkic people whose leaders adopted Judaism and whose Asian khanate was absorbed by the expanding Russian state. As one poster here commented, though, that theory has been debunked by genetic testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're arguing about an established definition of a word. That's absurd. Perhaps this will help you out. If you can't accept the actual definition you might use the phrase hatred of Jews, Jew haters, etc. Instead. Those will be understood the same way.
