So she's anti-semitic: how charmingly old-fashioned. Most American far-right knob-jobs nowadays are ardent Zionists, and anti-Palestinian.

If only it were 'old-fashioned'! But it ain't! It's been around ever since the supposed 'crucifixion' of the supposed Son of God 2000 plus years ago.
There was a case not far from where I live just before Christmas of 'students' from the local Catholic Grammar school who had chased a girl wearing a six-pointed star on a chain around her neck! In her terror, she was outnumbered about thirty to one, she ran into the main road, tried to avoid a car and fell, breaking her ankle.
It turned out that she was not even Jewish! The pendant was a gift from a friend who had no idea of its significance, any more than did the recipient!
So NO it is not BLOODY charmingly old-fashioned! It is still as nasty as it was eighty years ago!

I think you miss that for some of the loons, it's perfectly possible to be both pro Israel and anti semitic. The Palestinians to them are just another set of semites with a bit of evil Islam thrown in.
Israel is part of God's plan to bring about Arnageddon, and the true enemies are liberal Jews, such as Soros, who are behind the New World Order.

Hmm!
Collins English dictionary - SARCASM = mocking, contemptuous, or ironic language intended to convey scorn or insult!
Your comment was certainly insulting and contemptuous! As are more than a few of your comments n this forum!

I find anti-semitism to be a subject ill-fitted to either mockery or contempt having lost my entire maternal family from my grandmother back, in Auschwitz!
I find Steve's humour on the subject a fit target for contempt!

Is The Producers something you have a problem with? Because if not, Steve's just doing the same thing

Is Steve Jewish?
If he is not he can have absolutely no concept whatever of what being on the Jewish side of anti-Semitism is like.
I have been more than a little lucky in that my maternal grandmother had a blazing row with the family's Rabbi who considered that Jewish women in some of the occupied countries were breaking accepted standards of Jewish parenthood by handing their children to goyim to be transported to safety outside the occupied countries and he considered that her Dutch relatives were to be praised for laying down their lives and the lives of their children for their faith. As if they had any choice!
As a result, her children were not brought up as Jews but as goyim. This does not change the fact that by Hebrew tradition the Jewish faith is passed from mother to daughter and not father to son, which means, despite my father being Anglican, technically, I am a Jew.
As I see it, 'The Producers' is a film by a Jew, Mel Brookes, taking the piss out of the Nazi's. He used ridicule as a weapon, (as, famously, did Charlie Chaplin) on more than one occasion, this being one of them.

P S - The above is based upon what I was taught as a child. but never having been a practising Jew it might not be totally accurate.
It does not change my opinion of anti-Semitism which definitely cost me more than a few relatives.

You don't need me to provide you with ammunition. You have shown your ability to manufacture all the ammunition you need - in abundance! - Including "I am never, ever, in the wrong" bullets!
End of discussion!
I am going back to the brick wall - I get more sense out of that!

I have admitted I was wrong on this forum on a number of occasions in the past, and do so more than most.

Yes, and I happen to consider that your attitude to anti-Semitism is wrong!
I think it is wrong because of the number of members of my family /my ancestors died as a result of it!
But let it go, it is not worth arguing about any more, not unless the American Nazi Party wins seats in the next election, then even Trump will look like one of the 'good guys!'

Yeah - detestation at its most vehement.

You're not getting the last word that easily, sunshine. All you are demonstrating is your complete failure to understand sarcasm.

I have to say that is the sort of phrase (How charmingly old-fashioned) I could easily use when choosing sarcastic understatement to describe a homophobic person, so I'm not really getting why you are feeling so enraged Owlswing.

AS I have said, my family's history with anti-Semitism does not make it a subject for humour or sarcasm!
I'm sorry, but the cause of the murder of 30 to 40 of my ancestors is not a matter I find it easy to see used as humour of any sort, including sarcasm!
And Nye's comment "I find your using of your family's fate as ammunition for moral blackmail a fit target for contempt." I find bloody disgusting!
This is why I got the comment "You're not getting the last word that easily, sunshine. All you are demonstrating is your complete failure to understand sarcasm."
I don't find mass murder a fit subject for sarcasm either.
This is the last comment I am making on this thread! I find the whole question of anti-Semitism to be extremely upsetting - something which Nye seems ro find hilarious!
I DONT!

The "irritating Littleroses" law.
I want one of those. "Irritating Trentvoyager".
Unfortunately the prisons are going to be rather full as I would have to start with the entire current government and then work my way through the vast majority of people who masquerade as journalists whose real title should be "servants of their masters". Thereafter moving through the ranks of the youth of today who think it is trendy to have low slung trousers and/or no socks. Then people who buy a coffee from Costa and walk down the street displaying it as if they are the coolest person on the planet. Then dog owners. Women with false nails/tan/hair. The list is pretty much endless.
Lastly myself for being such a miserablist that I shouldn't really be allowed near any half way decent people.
