The first image shows the conversation was explicitly about Hitler, and as such Pin’s reply should be viewed with that context.

Is this sort of anti-semetic speech tolerated by the discord staff? What will be done to curb this in the future?

I've got no skin in the game here, but reading it in the full context, I'm not seeing the antisemitism in here unless you really really squint.

Yes, I saw.

hot plaza

alright

#

Taking the line out of context, yes, it looks bad and probably a bit insensitive, but no, it's not a case of antisemitism here.

hot plaza
#

what is the context then?

#

if anything the context makes it worse

midnight star
#

It doesn't?

You are not seeing anything antisemetic with the idea that Jews did worse against themselves than what hitler did?

#

nothing at all?

#

nor in fact through all their history of opression and persecution

What Hitler did was systemic annihilation of the Jewish race. Yes, that's bad. No one here, Pin included, is denying that.

Factually, the Jews also were recorded committing genocide against other groups in history and within themselves. They're fairly open about it in the Torah and there's bits of the Torah discusses reconciliation of that fact.

Bringing the latter factoid up is, at best, insensitive, but jumping straight into antisemitism is a stretch.

But he is not just bringing that "factoid" up

midnight star
#

He is.

I think a more pressing issue is allowing chat to discuss sensitive politics for a prolonged period when ALO has a "no politics" rule

#

In any case, I've literally worked with Pin right from the start and in all of several years in public and in private, I've never seen a hint of antisemitism either - so I'm willing to say that this is an overreaction and there is no sustained evidence of antisemitism, just a moment of insensitivity.

And i think you are missing the forest for the trees due to that
