Yes. A point I was going to make, although less forcefully. It is very easy to attribute the worst behaviour of an individual to a group of people, but not helpful or in any way accurate.

For example, not all DJ's share the behaviour of Jimmy Saville.

Not all Tories are like Greesy Moggy.

Not all Labour party politicians are as seemingly inarticulate and unseen as Keir Starmer is.

Not every Christian is like the Westboro Church lot that LR is fond of mentioning from time to time.

I could go on but I think I've maybe laboured the point too much already.

Of course it doesn't, but sadly unpleasant antisemitic idiots will use it as an excuse to tar all Jews with the same brush. >:(

But YOU tried to tar them all with the same brush in your original post. It's always a good idea to put your brain in gear before engaging the keyboard.

I think if you had said 'could be used to give all Jews a bad name' , it would have been clearer what you keant.

I'm not sure where the irony comes in.
