minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish5•edit-21 year ago Context is anti semitic It’s sarcasm the way I’m reading it, i.e. he is saying the the UN chief is providing context and that is being deemed as antisemitic, which it’s not. The Israeli ambassador is conflating the state with the entire set of Jewish people, which as you said is itself antisemitic I think you’re both on the same page
