Would posting that Job was under a burden be libel?

You wrote that the use of the phrase that a God imposes a treacherous form of slavery is a statement that you could address as a statement that could be seen by a subset of readers as constituting {putting down} that God.
If I was to post any repudiation, my repudiation does not address as to that a subset of readers could think that by you leaving the statement in question to stand, that you are validating that the statement is not against your rules. By the nature of that the statement stands, anti-Semitic hatred could be fostered as a subset of readers that could think that the statement is supportive by you and will be good for this community as a whole, could post analogous statements that could arouse anti-Semitic feelings. The fact that there are such posts after the one in question was posted, could also lead Jewish readers to feel shamed and humiliated here. There could also be {stigmatization} fostered here of Jews as the statement says that Jews give service and worship to a God that imposes a treacherous form of slavery upon them. The statement has been used historically, and I am prevented from posting that here due to your prohibitions posted to me here, which prevents me from posting my own repudiation in the manner that I would want to post. The statement is false, but there is much more to this that I am prohibited by you to post.
I would like very much for you to do the addressing of the statement, and then go on to the posts that offer links to verses that are anti-Semitic. One of those posts cites John 5. There are others so I am requesting that you choose from them as to which one you would like to address first. The one with {his blood be upon us} Matthew 27:25, is one.
