    1. >Not only do journalists say they are facing threats, they also face a context in which governments, such as the province of Ontario, are adhering to definitions of antisemitism that [equate it to criticism of Israel](https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/59045/government-of-ontario-adopts-and-recognizes-ihra-working-definition-of-antisemitism).

      Follow [the links to the IHRA definition](https://holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definition-antisemitism) and I think you’ll find some points which do not belong alongside collectively punishing Jewish folks, blood libel, denying the holocaust, and such:

      > Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, e.g., by claiming that the existence of a State of Israel is a racist endeavor.

      That depends entirely by how that State functions, and is something that could change over time. A State could _come to exist_ as a racist State even if it is not one presently, and we should feel free to discuss whether or not it has come to pass.

      > Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.

      Seeing the emaciated starved children of Gaza^[0](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/middle-east/gaza-israel-malnutrition-palestine-famine-b2793933.html),[1](https://www.hrw.org/news/2024/04/09/gaza-israels-imposed-starvation-deadly-children) is reminiscent of similar imagery from the Holocaust; it’s painful, troubling and distressing to see. It is _easy_ to draw parallels between these monstrous affronts to human dignity.

      Isn’t _never again_ meant to be _never again to anyone?_

      Not just this topic but when it comes to everything in news media. Having fair and balanced or both sides it part of what got us into the mess we are in as a society in the first place. We gave a equal seat to stupidity.
