    Not really an argument per se, just a series of personal opinions.

    "Godwin's law itself can be abused as a distraction, diversion or even as censorship, fallaciously miscasting an opponent's argument as hyperbole when the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate"

    Thanks Dev

    Do you believe he was not talking about Jews in general, and when he agreed with "Gassing" Bitton he meant firing him?

    Seriously?

    No, I think the wolloper meant gassing Israelis. In fact, did he mention Jews?

    It's another horrible thing to say but he did not attack Bitton for being Jewish

    Do you think there's a distinction between "Israelis" and "Jews" in this regard?

    But the narrative now is that to even criticize Israel and their policies makes you a Jew hater.

    Just look at the mess the Labour Party has gotten itself into over the issue.

    Were the "Israelis" gassed by the Nazis? Or was that the Jews?

    Genuine question on Belfast slang ?

    Because he didn't it was his pal. However it's a slur to do with his race /religion. But it was an adage to the original attack that was based on Bittons choices.

    Like Sturgeon getting misogynistic abuse during the Referendum. She wasn't being a attacked because she was a woman, it was because she was a leader of the YES campaign
