 Thank you :-) 
  
 Sorry if I am doing this to death but the IHRA working definition says: 
  
 "Contemporary examples of antisemitism in public life, the media, schools, 
 the workplace, and in the religious sphere could, taking into account the 
 overall context, include, but are not limited to: 
  
 Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations 
 about Jews as such or the power of Jews as collective €€€ such as, 
 especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy 
 or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal 
 institutions." 
  
 If I were to suggest that Netanyahu has tentacles in the White House, that 
 it is over represented with Jewish people and this is evidenced by 
 America's unquestioning support of Israel even when the world condemns 
 what Israel is doing have I been antisemitic and, if so, what are the 
 consequences? 
  
 PS I don't know if the group answered your point about being sued for 
 giving advice but I promise not to sue you :-)
