There is no way, on that site, to produce such an image with a screenshot (and that's ignoring the red circles).

But, fine. Omit the word "doctored". The rest of the comment still stands; the image made it seem like criticising the patriotism of any person on the "Jewish" category was made illegal, etc..

The post was not antisemitic.

It used deception to falsely portray a blanket "Jews" in a negative light.

This is not true.

The user used the Windows "Snip Tool" and red marker to circle. This feature is on every PC that has Windows 8, or later. That's a layup.

That's a suspicious statement coming from you. I thought you were familiar with computers, and offered to help the admins with code?

Also false. The bill is legit, and it contains the info from the screenshot. That is a fact.

If this is an uncomfortable for some individuals, then they should petition their local leaders to have the law changed.

 

It's strange that you're so interested in with this particular topic; given your claim that it doesn't affect your life.

Why are you repeating the same arguments in two threads? The user didn't simply use the Windows Snip Tool; I've already asked you to demonstrate using Problem Steps Recorder or a third-party screen recorder how it would be possible to produce such an image simply with that tool, without creating a composite image from multiple screenshots and you still haven't.

You're consistently trying to change the topic in order to win the argument. This isn't about whether the law exists or whether it contains that text (the answer to both is yes, as we both know); this is about whether the law was misrepresented. I say yes, you say no, fine, but don't use unethical, deceptive "debating techniques" to try to "prove" your point.

Because you're repeating the same tired argument, which deserves the same concise response.

The Windows Snipping Tool is a screenshot program combined with a basic graphics editor. Whether or not it was used is almost completely independent of whether the screenshot was modified more than cropping and doodling.

I've offered you several simple ways to prove that the image shown can be produced simply by cropping a screenshot and drawing over it in red pen. You have sidestepped them, refusing to prove your argument. (Look, not the only one who knows how to bold things!)

I know it's hard to accept – this was basically me two months ago – but is this really the hill you want to die on? You're losing your hard-earned reputation here.

Yes, the title was misleadng but it wasn't antisemitic.

Technically, it was. And it was intended to portray a false anti-Semitic message as fact.
