I agree. The comment that equated an intelligence service with a religion was crude, inappropriate and unnecessarily political. It is downright shameful to invoke the very real phenomenon of religious persecution as a way to discourage mere mention of a specific, relatively small intelligence organization.



Modern antisemitism tends to be rooted in racist prejudice against a Jewish ethnicity more then plain religious discrimination. And tends to be related to a lot of conspiracy theories.

I think its possible to fairly critize a nation state and and intelligence agency but some criticismtends towards mossad shark type conspiracies

antisemitism was often driven by race and not religion

germans in the holocaust murdered jews that had converted to christianity or simply had a jewish parent or grandparent
