You can also just close the tab and stop reading. "Antisemitic" doesn't automatically mean "the devil" either.

  Have to say I wasn’t expecting “antisemitism is fine” as a counter argument to downvotes. Suffice to say this comment isn’t the slam dunk you think it is.

    Yes it is, and I don't care about how popular my comments are. In many slavic countries antisemitism is the default and normal opinion. Semitic people are not the sacred cows they are in american culture.

      Which Slavic countries, specifically? I come from one, and even though there are (borderline) antisemitic jokes (an X, Y and Jew go into a bar, or Holocaust-related jokes which i personally choose to interpret as just a specific brand of dark humour), antisemitism is not a "default and normal opinion". It's skinhead/football hooligan fringes. So, which Slavic country has a majority of antisemites, today? The horrors of WW2 have taught all of us better, one would think (idiots such as yourself being the exception, not the norm; clarification: yes, you have to be an idiot to be antisemitic or racist or any other similar description).

      That's bizarre, creepy, and unacceptable. Since you have a history of breaking the site guidelines before this, I've banned the account. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

  You're right. Antisemitism is provably real
