I did not say democracies are antisemitic. There is a fundamental problem with democracy which the Greeks notice over 2000 years ago. There is no protection at all in a democracy if the majority wants to do something rotten. This is a political triviality and has zero to do with antisemitism . The Germans had Hitler because they wanted him. If Iran had had a democratic system, I am sure the Iranians would have democratically elected him by large majority. By the way when I am making a logical argument and am using modus ponens, I usually state that I am doing so. I have had Phil 140.
