No, they are irrelevant. Regardless of my views on the images at hand (and
no, I don't think they should be deleted altogether), nobody cares if you
think Zionism = racism and it has nothing to do with whether we should or
shouldn't keep these images.

Oldak, this is the mailing list of Commons. This

are simplistic and
wrong, it
is not the emotions of Zionists that we want to
keep out of here, but
the
emotions of *all* politically-driven people. Be
they tenants of the
Israeli
right-wing and far-right-wing, or their
opponents.
I suggested we avoid emotive terms such as "anti-Semite" which would
just confuse this discussion. The term is lightly thrown around in
some discussions - I don't see how anything I said was over-simplistic
or wrong.
Zionism is racist (any hope or ideology based around a racial state is
racist) and confusing the distinction between anti-Zionism and
anti-Semitism is a common tactic
(

bring up these points, because they are relevant to the discussion.
