You wrote,[...It's indirectly relevant...I made it clear that I didn't necessarily validate their statements...].
I do not see any such thing. The rule here is that what {could} be seen. And it could be seen that since the statement in question is not repudiated by you, that a subset of readers could think that you think that it is not against your rules. Now I do not know if there could be another subset of readers to agree with you. I think that they would have to {jump to a conclusion} to arrive at that, for you do say that you didn't {necessarily} validate the anti-Semitic statement as to what it could purport, but then, that means that you could be validating the hatred that the statement could purport toward Jews and Islamic people and all the other people that have in their religion a way to heaven that are not Christian.
It is the {could} that overrules the {will} in your TOS here. And if it {could}, then one match {could} start a forest fire regardless if the fire starter curses at the trees. For if there is a person cursing at the trees, that does not mean that they will start a fire. But if there is a person saying that Jews can not enter heaven because they are not Christians, and the leader of the community will not repudiate the claim, that could stoke the furnace of hatred toward Jews as the historical record shows.
Never again
