Hava Mendelle (March 23, 2024). "The World Jewish Congress investigates Wikipedia". Spectator Australia. Retrieved March 23, 2024. However, one example that can stand out is the article titled Comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany. This entry is disturbing due to its perpetuation of antisemitism through its overall contextual framing and biased portrayal of Israel. One may question the rationale behind such an article and ask why Israel, a democratic country, is singled out, whereas there are no dictatorships with parallel articles.

According to the IHRA definition of antisemitism[edit]
A new section is sorely needed here to clarify the following:
Comparison of Israel to Nazi Germany is considered a form of antisemitism and is citied in the examples of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism:
"Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis."
Zionist is NOT Judaism so this is not antisemitic. Israel is not a Jewish “country”. Real Jews want nothing to do with either Zionism or Israel. Roleplaying as Jews does not make either Jewish. 100.40.108.190 (talk) 23:34, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
my thoughts exactly! criticism of "israel" is not antisemitism; such logic never extends the other way. its just a way to victimise oneself and shut down conversation. 24.249.169.39 (talk) 22:30, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
ADL is a literal lobbying arm of the Israeli government. Please remove their quote.[edit]
It is well documented by credible journalists that the ADL works in tandem and takes orders from Israeli intelligence agencies. They are foreign agents and have zero credibility on this issue. State actors should not be quoted in an article analyzing said state. 2603:8081:6440:FC:EDFA:D2E3:462C:5D44 (talk) 08:41, 10 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Al Jazeera is cited here and that is Qatari state media and several journalists have been exposed for Iranian, Hamas and Hezbollah ties. If anything, AJ should not be here. AJ Arabic had an incident where one of its clerics called for the mass murder of Jews. The ADL does important research and education on antisemitism and the Shoah.

Why not remove them both if multiple people have issues with it? I don't think it's fair to say "we can leave in this biased quote because there are OTHER biased quotes in the article." garriefisher (talk) 22:44, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Debate on whether comparisons are antisemitic"[edit]
I feel this section gives too little space to people who say that such comparisons aren't antisemitic. Eldomtom2 (talk) 18:26, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some potential sources that could be added to this article:
Hugo Chavez quote source literally does not exist anywhere on the internet.[edit]
Reference 9 (as of me writing this) cites a quote from this source. This page is entirely dead. Moreover, I cannot find any archive of this article anywhere on the internet. The Way Back Machine's first archive of it shows that even in 2007 the page displayed a 404 error. Every subsequent archival of this page that I have checked has also shown various forms of HTTP errors. Google searching the headline in quotation marks only gives results from other Wikimedia pages using the same reference. The same goes for searching for just the quote itself. Midknight13 (talk) 14:35, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The statement appears real (Chavez making a comparison to the Holocaust), just the translation into English unique. Here is the translation given by BBC of the same speech: Israel has gone mad. It's attacking, doing the same thing to the Palestinian and Lebanese people that they have criticised - and with reason - the Holocaust. But this is a new Holocaust.
Looks like the quote was added into the Israel–Venezuela relations Wikipedia page back in 2006, and then copied here in 2024. Probably what happened is that the quote is really the translation Dow Jones gave in 2006, and was added here in good faith, but the article 404'd before being archived by the Way Back Machine in 2007. Possibly we could replace it with an alive source/translation (like the BBC one) if we want. Endwise (talk) 09:36, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Replies only towards one position of the debate[edit]
Why every argument against the comparison as antisemitic is quoted as replied by someone, somewhere, but not happens the same counterargument with the ones assuring is antisemite?
