In discussing the current Israel-Lebanon situation, some people crosds the border between being against the politics of the state of Israel and downright antisemitism, such as:

xDuckYouSuckerx said: . Hah, thats amusing. A race of short dicked little heebs, cutting the ends of their cocks off, is "pnwing" people. Yea right. Like I said, someday the shoes gonna be on the other foot, and when that happens, the anti-Jew backlash is gonna be so great we'll juts wipe them from the planet like a turd from a butthole.
This style of debate serves no political goal, nor is it a respectable element of conventional debate, so the question arises whether this is a form of flaming in absence, or whether or not this would be ok. How do you feel about it?

I am for freedom of speech here, unless it amounts to flaming another member. If a racial slur is being directed at a member of a particular race, there definitely will be action taken.
I've seen Bush called a shithead, idiot, and various other names, but I'm not going to ban someone because Georgie might register and become offended.

Since the entire context I said that from was snipped, someone said that the jews were "pnwing" the innocent civilians that they were bombing.

It's an example.

True, but still it's an example of the exact same thing this thread is about. I see in mature debate no reason to speak of a "race of short-dicked heebs" and I think it even distracts from it, aside for being needlessly offensive.
A Jewish member made a Pub-thread about Shroomery antisemitism, so it is safe toi say he takes offense at this sort of thing. And even if he didn't, I do. You don't need to be an Arab to take offense at Arab-hating talk, to name but an example.
It's offensive and distracts from mature discussion.
