Ah, people avoiding talking about bigotry (or claims thereof) doesn't really carry any weight.

If there was a claim that X was anti-semitic, I'd be looking for Jews (or Jewish-allies) to either say "Yes, of course it is", or "No, actually, this is being overblown, and brings other claims of antisemitism into disrepute, because it's a ridiculous assertion."

I'm looking for something similar here.

Edit: Or something with sufficient detail to make my own mind up more - which the one I linked to above had more of in it than I've seen elsewhere.
