  "textContent": "British cops have arrested two Green Party candidates, accusing them of promoting antisemitism.\n\nThe statement attributed to Sabine Mairey is flagrantly antisemitic. Aside from being inherently bad, it is also foolish and self-defeating to try to support Palestinians' rights by attacking the Jews\nthat support Palestinians' rights.\n\nThe statement attributed to Saiqa Ali supports HAMAS. Since HAMAS is a terrorist organization, arguably the statement supports terrorism. However, HAMAS does not advocate antisemitism. HAMAS is is Islamist, meaning it seeks to impose the rules of Islam on everyone, including non-Muslims. That would be unjust, but does not imply treating Jews worse than Christians. However, HAMAS would be likely to treat Atheists such as me worse than either Christians or Jews.\n\nAccording to Wikipedia, HAMAS was formerly antisemitic, but ended that about 10 years ago.",
