244. While I agree that those are unacceptable terms to agree to... |

...please note the difference in Discord's example: the majority citizen attacking a minority citizen, and a minority citizen attacking a majority belief, rather than a majority person.
To put it another way: a German citizen attacking a Jewish citizen in the 1930s is completely different from a Jewish citizen attacking the majority belief in Naziism at that time.
(I am not, not, NOT! equating religious beliefs to Naziism. This was simply the clearest example I could think of.)
My point is that one is attacking a person, and the other is attacking a belief. The first is bigotry, the second is not. Attacking a Jew is anti-Semetic, while attacking Zionism is not.
Hope that doesn't add gasoline to the fire...
