>None of these make comment about Jews or the Jewish religion. A claim is made. It is either true, partially true, or false. But the claim makes no qualitative statements about Judaism per se.

Then maybe it is a matter of perception. I read it as indictment of a whole race of people by espousing a falsehoood. The same type of falsehood was used before to indict the Jews for things that they - as a whole - had nothing to do with. It was used in Kristallnacht and before. It was used in the Progroms in Russia and Poland. It was used in Spain in the Inquisition. It was used to indict the Jews for betraying Jesus (another Jew), etc. etc. Millions of people were killed (not only Jews) in history by such assertions.

If I uttered such a blatantly false statement as indictment of the Turkish people, or all Moslems, or Boers or Mongols, or whatever, I would be guilty of the same. Then I would be rebuked by documentation showing my comment as false. Then my choices would be to defend my statement, recognize I was wrong and say so, or ignore it thereby tacitly acknowledging that what I believe in what I said and have no intention of defending it or retracting it.
