33. Some people want any excuse to hate and attack Jews

May 24

The fact that people don't do this with Russians and others shows this.

The far left is like the right wing when it comes to Jews.

Never say Isreal is doing this to Gaza: [View all] Chasstev365 May 24 OP

Thank you Mossfern May 24 #1

There's been plenty of support for his actions in Gaza on DU (nt) muriel_volestrangler May 24 #16

Ok, enough of this bullshit. I challenge you. Beastly Boy May 24 #98

A quick search does yield this: snot May 24 #107

How many of these were authored by DUers? Beastly Boy May 24 #115

I started to apologize and thank you for the correction, snot May 25 #130

The OP is certainly applicable way beyond DU. Beastly Boy May 25 #133

24 hours later, and not a single response to my challenge Beastly Boy May 25 #134

That's bollocks and you know it. muriel_volestrangler May 25 #135

I didn't challenge you to send me mail. Beastly Boy May 25 #136

You challenge me and others to break the DU rules muriel_volestrangler May 26 #141

No I do not. Furthermore, I instructed you how to meet my challenge without breaking DU rules. Beastly Boy May 26 #143

And never say critics of Netenyahu's elected government are anti-Semitic. sop May 24 #2

I haven't seen that, but I can't say that it doesn't exist Mossfern May 24 #7

Critics of Israel's (Netenyahu's) rightwing government's Gaza policies are routinely accused of being anti-Semitic. sop May 24 #9

Are they specifying Netanyahu and Right Wing Mossfern May 24 #10

You're splitting hairs here. sop May 24 #12

That is not true Mossfern May 24 #15

Obviously people in the rest of the world do say "America" - that's what humans do muriel_volestrangler May 24 #17

Sadly, these debates always devolve into someone being accused of being anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas or worse. sop May 24 #21

Let's try it right here. yardwork May 24 #20

I won't, but I never conflate Israel's and Netenyahu's rightwing government's actions in Gaza with being a Jew. sop May 24 #24

Still haven't been accused of antisemitism.... yardwork May 24 #26

Hours later, still no accusation of antisemitism. yardwork May 24 #72

Exemplifies the issue krkaufman May 24 #42

Honestly Mossfern May 24 #45

A major problem is the "new" definition moniss May 24 #68

Rec'd Mossfern May 24 #69

Very thoughtful post as always. AloeVera May 24 #95

I meant not the Christians or others based on moniss May 24 #101

But then it's still a conundrum. AloeVera May 24 #117

Yes and sadly there is no real solution now so all I moniss May 24 #118

Agreed, with one caveat. Beastly Boy May 24 #99

It is not just the IHRA language that makes up the moniss May 24 #110

If I understand you correctly, it is not the IHRA definition of antisemitism that is the object to your objections. Beastly Boy May 25 #121

The point is correct about things that go beyond moniss May 25 #123

Let me begin with an acknowledgement that Beastly Boy May 25 #125

I am glad that you covered the subject of moniss May 25 #129

Here on DU? yardwork May 24 #14

Maybe if you think these posts are "truly antisemitic" but they don't get removed muriel_volestrangler May 24 #49

It's just bullying. yardwork May 24 #78

Your posts in this thread are weak sauce - "I criticize Netanyahu - I dare someone to call me an antisemite" muriel_volestrangler May 24 #81

Nonsense. yardwork May 24 #82

So you won't point out an aspect of Israeli policy in Gaza that you condemn? muriel_volestrangler May 24 #83

I'm not playing your game. yardwork May 24 #91

This is no game. It's about ongoing deaths. muriel_volestrangler May 24 #92

Well said. Violet_Crumble May 24 #102

well... WhiskeyGrinder May 24 #3

That's probably because Mountainguy May 24 #36

What Hamas did on October 7 was monstrous. It does everyone a disservice to repeat falsehoods about it. WhiskeyGrinder May 24 #47

It does everyone a disservice Mountainguy May 24 #53

Citation on the babies being sliced apart and stuffed into ovens? WhiskeyGrinder May 24 #61

There are eye-witness accounts Mountainguy May 24 #74

Yeah from what I've seen, the claims about babies cut in half or put in ovens are routinely discounted. WhiskeyGrinder May 24 #76

"discounted" Mountainguy May 24 #79

That's not how proof works Buzz cook May 24 #80

. WhiskeyGrinder May 24 #85

I think I replied to the wrong post. Buzz cook May 25 #120

The proof is the eye-witness testimony Mountainguy May 25 #128

Once again. You are making a claim Buzz cook May 25 #131

Burned baby Mountainguy May 25 #137

Yes two babies were murdered. Buzz cook May 26 #138

Ok.... Mountainguy May 26 #139

Do you read the articles you post? No where in your post Buzz cook May 27 #145

When does claudette May 25 #127

It's been proven no babies were "sliced apart" womanofthehills May 26 #142

The link i posted shows the burned body Mountainguy May 26 #144

But Israel has been visiting violence and hatred on Gaza, since the very beginning of the nakba indusurb May 24 #4

Please read a detailed account Mossfern May 24 #5

He really needs to read it JustAnotherGen May 24 #8

I hope he likes pizza Mossfern May 24 #11

He's still here JustAnotherGen May 24 #19

Perhaps because you called out the wrong "newbie" in your link? AloeVera May 24 #39

You are using another poster (the one at your link) to insinuate that a poster in this thread (indusurb) attacked Biden Celerity May 24 #37

You owe them an apology. They're not the poster you linked to... Violet_Crumble May 24 #108

By the same token... AloeVera May 24 #64

What are you talking about? From 1948 throgh 1967 it was Egypt that controlled and occupied Gaza. lapucelle May 24 #22

Haaretz: Account From '56 Describes Slaughter and Rape by Israeli Troops in Gaza. Is It True? David__77 May 24 #27

Did you read your link? The "account" is a work of fiction --- a short story. lapucelle May 24 #30

Yes, it discussed Israeli censorship related to its 1956 actions in Gaza. David__77 May 24 #32

Fun fact: the fictitious "account" occurred during the Suez Crisis when Egypt was occupying Gaza. lapucelle May 24 #34

Isn't it more accurate to name the right wing parties harumph May 24 #13

I think that many include "right wing" in their condemnation. Mossfern May 24 #18

True. harumph May 24 #29

Israel has a diverse population Mossfern May 24 #87

I'm with you but the post was about Israel. Eko May 24 #88

I wasn't aware that it was restricted Mossfern May 24 #90

Huh. Eko May 24 #100

Fair enough Mossfern May 24 #104

Or if what happens in Israel is from some people in Gaza. You got it. Eko May 24 #109

Not quite the same .... Mossfern May 24 #111

I think its the same, the Mideast, North America. Can I ask what makes it not quite the same? Eko May 24 #112

Cuba is not North America Mossfern May 24 #113

I think it is. Eko May 24 #114

Au contraire mon frere. I have read comments on this site that are basically a chorus of "From the River to the Sea" Noodleboy13 May 24 #94
