@DarkCloud I think it did some creative paraphrasing.
Not at all, the ABC's own article mentioned they were pressured by "Lobbyists" to fire her after she posted anti-israel content to her Twitter.

@DarkCloud But her post was NOT antisemitic. That was the claim of those who complained, and the ABC management caved like a stepped-on meringue.
I think that's why it's in quotation marks.... Because it wasn't antisemitic.

Being critical of something doesn't even necessarily mean they are 'anti' anything. Criticism at it's heart is 'let's do better, people'. It's trying to help them
Antisemitism in common parlance means outwardly racist towards the Jewish ethnicity.
The comment I replied to said 'anti-israel' which is not antisemitism no matter how many fuckwits try to claim it is, and had nothing to do with my comment about the purpose of criticism in general.
