From the EU's working definition: Antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. Rhetorical and physical manifestations of antisemitism are directed toward Jewish or nonJewish individuals and/or their property, toward Jewish community institutions and religious facilities.'
In addition, such manifestations could also target the state of Israel, conceived as a Jewish collectivity. Antisemitism frequently charges Jews with conspiring to harm humanity, and it is often used to blame Jews for ``why things go wrong.'' It is expressed in speech, writing, visual forms and action, and employs sinister stereotypes and negative character traits.

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:
Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion.
• Anti-semitism includes 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.
• Anti-semitism includes accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, or even for acts committed by nonJews.
•Anti-semitism includes denying the fact, scope, mechanisms (e.g. gas chambers) or intentionality of the genocide of the Jewish people at the hands of National Socialist Germany and its supporters and accomplices during World War II (the Holocaust).
• Anti-semitism includes accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
• Anti-semitism includes accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interests of their own nations.

Get the semtext mug.A semtex grenade is the fat ugly heffer who will not let go.
The night after the grenade has been jumped by the unfortunate, it may develop into the semtex grenade (a sticky explosive made notorious by modern warfare 2) where the said grenade will not desist in contacting the grenade jumper via social networking sites or by phone.
The main objective of the semtex grenade is to bombard the grenade jumper with these texts, phonecalls and emails, into furthering the meaningless one night stand towards a more meaningful relationship.

Get the sexited mug.When you incur heavenly wrath, it has been said by the Catholic churches forever (or at least the bits I listened to) that God will smite you. It's also commonly acknowledged that this smiting will be done with a bolt of lightning, if God's in a particularly stylish mood. So, you get struck by what? SMITENING!
Damn, I shouldn't have stolen that priest's car, or raped his wife. God's going to throw down some *ZAP* smitening. ....shit, that hurt....
