    In 2000, HonestReporting started as a small email list alerting subscribers to anti-Israel media bias. When the organization took on The New York Times over the adjacent photo, the real fight back began as the power of numbers proved its value. Since then, HonestReporting has evolved into the world’s premier grassroots media watchdog organization defending Israel against media bias.

    I hate to ask, but you have anything that doesn’t openly declare it reason for existing is to advance an Israeli narrative?

      Here’s a piece from the Socialist Worker Party:

      [Miller] wrote, “Jews are not discriminated against,” “They are over-represented in Europe, North America and Latin America in positions of cultural, economic and political power,” “They are therefore in a position to discriminate against actually marginalised groups,” and, “Judeophobia barely exists.”

      Such allegations lump together all Jews without any recognition of class or other differences. Miller targets Jews, not the actual ruling class, and plays on the idea of Jews as ultra-rich and manipulative.

      Obviously, anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism, but that doesn’t mean anti-Zionists can’t be antisemitic, which Miller seems to be.

        I am baffled as to why you should join the argument at this point, and talk about who Miller is, or is not.

        If he was carrying a placard saying “burn the Jews” he is being antisemitic and should be arrested .

        If he’s only been to funeral, he’s done nothing wrong. .

        While you and others here are so obviously comfortable with your enemies being persecuted, I am not, because there’s a word for that ideology.

          You asked for an alternative source from the pro-Israeli one, with the main thrust of the quoted parts being that he’s antisemitic, if I misunderstood what was being asked for then I apologise.

          If he’s only been to funeral, he’s done nothing wrong.

          He was detained under anti-terror laws for attending the funeral for the leader of a proscribed terror group and making several posts on social media in support of proscribed terror groups around the same time. I don’t think the decision to apply those anti-terror laws are as unreasonable as you’re making them out to be, even though they are fairly draconian in scope and I’d personally like to see them repealed.
